Archery Guyana

Over the weekend (Friday 3^rd to Sunday 5^th November, 2017), four Level 2 Archery coaches from Barbados provided our local archers with three days of Olympic Archery coaching intended to raise their skill levels and prepare them for indoor and outdoor competitions, both nationally and internationally.

Pursuant to the recent collaboration between the two regional entities, both of which are duly affiliated to the international governing body, World Archery Foundation and World Archery Americas, World Archery Barbados made the necessary arrangements to provide Archery Guyana with the assistance of four (4) coaches, intended to aid in the further development of local Archers.

Mr Ronald Field, Mr. Thomas Field, Ms. Rebecca Wiltshire and Mr. Dwayne Grovesnor arrived this afternoon to conduct coaching/training sessions with Archery Guyana this weekend.

On Wednesday 25^th October, 2017, Directors of Archery Guyana paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Social Cohesion, Dr. George Norton at the Ministry’s headquarters on Main Street.

During the visit they discussed with the Honourable Minister Norton their plans for the future and gave an update as to the progress of Archery Guyana thus far. A proposed Junior Archery Programme, Schools Programme and Para-Archery Propgramme was discussed. Plans are also being made to pursue more Outreach programmes.
