Dear County Secretaries,

You may (or may not) have heard of the January Challenge. I have run it for several years now on behalf of GNAS/ Archery GB.
After some confusion (because some people had never heard of it!) I have been asked to run it once again in January 2012.

It is very simple. Archers should submit their best score for an indoor Portsmouth round shot in January 2012, and I then sift
them into a ranked table. There are various categories, covering sex, bow style and archers’ experience. All the various
combinations are detailed in the attached flier. There are no physical trophies, just the glory of knowing where in the list each
archer came. I will accept scores by post or email, and spread sheets with all the scores from one club are particularly welcome.
They should be submitted to me by the end of the first weekend in February, and I send the results to the AGB website as soon as I can

So far so simple. However, as the decision to run the competition has been delayed to the last minute, no notice was placed in
Archery UK. Could I ask you all, therefore, to forward this email on to the clubs in your county .. With the wonders of modern
communications, this should reach most potential competitors with plenty of time to take part.

Thank you for your assistance – and a Happy New Year

Nick Beeson
