The Northern Counties Archery Society is making grants available to support NCAS archers who have been selected to represent England or the UK at a competition not held in England. This includes events under Archery GB, Archery England, University, Warrior or Invictus Games auspices.
Grants are not available for self-selected events such as training camps - they are only available where the archer has been selected on merit following a selection process.

Dennis Wilcockson died on 12th January.
He was a lovely, warm friendly and funny man who had time for everyone. He was a Longbow man and made his own bows. He will be much missed at the Club by all.
Heaven has a new Longbow Archer.
RIP Dennis.
