NAC is one of Northamptonshire’s longest running clubs
Due to a waterlogged ground, the venue for the 1st Caswell Shoot on 6th May has been moved from Kettering Cricket Club to Wellingborough Open Archery Clubs’s outdoor range at Wrenn School, Doddington Road, Wellingborough NN8 2JJ.
Assembly time remains the same at 9:15 am.
Our club records have been updated today. We congratulate David Quemby for setting a new County Triple Portsmouth Gents Compound record of 1698 at the NCAS County Championships at Rothwell on the 11th March. Not only that, David earned a silver in the single round and golds in the double and triple rounds. He has also claimed new club records for the Portsmouth single and double rounds and the Stafford and Stafford Double Rounds. Susan Corless achieved a new ladies recurve club record at the Wicken Stafford Shoot. Well done.
On the 10th November 2011 our Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer attended the County Archery Association’s Annual General Meeting. It was during those proceedings that Dave Quemby (NAC) was recognized for his achievement of at least two (2), 1st Class scores and as such was awarded in his absence a “County Award” including a “Year Badge” for 2011.
Therefore during our normal shooting session at Moulton on the 12th November 2011, and in front of a good crowd of NAC archers, he was awarded this County Award by our Treasurer David Stevens.
It goes without saying that all NAC members congratulate Dave on his remarkable achievements (so far) throughout this season.
Well done Dave and lets see even more!!

This years NCAS County & Open Outdoor Championships was held on 11th September and hosted by Wellingborough Open Archery Club.
Despite the tricky conditions there was a great turn out this year with nearly all catagories being full. Strong variable winds throughout the day nearly resulted in the shoot being abandoned in the afternoon, but everyone agreed to see it through to the end.
Congratulations to our new county champions
