Newnham Progress Awards System

The Progress Award Scheme is a progression of awards for new archers after completion of their Beginners’ Course. It can extend over an unspecified time period to suit individual needs and can be awarded to any age of archer. 

The awards will hopefully encourage and motivate new archers and recognise their achievements and
progress within their club.
