We are poling everyone in the county about a possible uniform for county squad members and would greatly appreciate your input.

The Durham City Archers raffle drawn on Saturday 22nd May made a further £116 for Sport Relief bringing the grand total raised to a
fantastic £2484.68.
Thanks once again to our sponsors, to all the kind people who gave so generously and to the club members for taking part.
Seven raffle prizes remain unclaimed: All on GREEN tickets, the numbers are:
27, 29, 44, 93, 365, 389, 474
Please see Davey Ryan at the club if you have the winning tickets.
Couple of changes to the site:
Note up there on the nav bar is a link to our calendar, which will be kept up to date with all the events from the region and from our club. you can even subscribe to a feed from that calendar and use it to synchronise your iCal or Outlook calendar so it gets automatic updates over the internet.
In the links on the right there you will now see a link to Archers Mate, use it to quickly calculate your handicap or classification for any score.
I can also recommend archery score pad as a nice way of tracking your progress over time. Check it out.

We are in the Northern Echo
When:
March, Friday the 19th 7pm – Saturday the 20th 7pm.
What:
We are forming several 4-person teams and shooting competitive rounds (Vegas – Worcester – Portsmouth – Brays) round the clock for 24 hours straight. Team scores will be kept as a running total and the winning team (highest score from all archers in all rounds) gets bragging rights for the next 12 months. We have not as yet decided if there will be a prize.
Why:
We are raising money for Sport Relief, donations gratefully received here: http://www.mysportrelief.com/teamdca
How you can help:
We need archers (members only) to join us and shoot, but if you can’t do the full 24 hours why not get sponsored for a single Portsmouth round on the Saturday? For junior members, we will be having a single Portsmouth round competition on Saturday morning so get you name down and get some sponsorship from your mates at school.
Anything else?:
Yup, we are also holding a have a go session on Saturday afternoon between 3-5PM charging 50p for 3 arrows, all proceeds going to charity so bring a curious friend who always wondered what that archery lark was all about.
Who:
Members who want to join us or in any way help us out (we are also looking for corporate sponsorship) contact Julie, Dee, Lloyd, Paul, Linda, Cath, Mike or, Chris, details on the contact page.
Huge congratulations to the ladies of the DCA recurve team for their clean sweep af all the bling at the Morpeth indoor today!
1st place (and a new PB) for Cath Lowden
2nd Place Deirdre Kennedy
3rd Becky Green
In other categories Linda Thompson took 3rd in Ladies Longbow and Mike McGowan took third in Gents Compound.
Well Done everyone.
