Successful International Youth Judge Seminar in Lilleshall

The event took place from 24 to 26 October 2014 at Lilleshall National Sports Centre – home of Archery GB and venue for the 2004 World Junior Championships.

The intense two-day seminar included a number of sessions on judging procedures and rules, followed by an exam.

The candidates had the opportunity to visit the Archery GB Performance Unit facilities which were in use by one of the Archery GB Youth Academies. The participants could also undertake practical assessments under the direction of Morten WILMANN and Dion BUHAGIAR, members of World Archery Judges Committee.

The seminar was a great success, with a very high pass rate. The feedback from those attending was that "while it was 'hard work', it was a very good weekend, and they all made new friends with whom they hope to be working with in the future."

The World Archery family is pleased to welcome the following new Youth Judges:
