Previous Use

31 Aug 2013: While originally envisaged as encouraging family participation, there are now significant legal and cultural issues with the award criteria. It has also become commonplace in recent years, that nobody or only one couple fulfil the award criteria, so there is no effective competition for the award.

1988 - 2013Open only to members of the Kent Archery Association.
Open only to:
  • senior ladies shooting the Hereford round with the compound bow and
  • senior gentlemen shooting the York round with the compound bow.
Couples do not require nomination or entry for the award in advance.
