I started archery at University and was soon involved in running beginners’ courses, and by my final year of University I was responsible for running the archery club of more than 150 members. After graduation I moved to a local club and completed my Level 1 and 2 coaching courses and started working with more experienced archers.  He also took on the role of Development Co-ordinator signing the club up to onTarget and successfully achieving the community specialism.My desire to give back to the sport and to encourage more people to join led him to become the County Development Coordinator and signing up to become a judge. Work intervened and moved me to Bristol, where I moved into the role of County Coaching Organiser.I also have the privilege to be mentoring with the new Archery GB ambassadors whose energy and enthusiasm for the sport that we all love just blows me away.
