The UK & I of I Championships 2010 will be hosted by Llantwit Major Archers at their course at Fonmon Estate in the Vale of Glamorgan on the 10th and 11th July.
The course has been re-laid for this event so it promises to be challenging even for those who have shot there before. There will also be a re-enactment event at the Fonmon Estate over this weekend so there promises to be lots to see and do in addition to the archery event.

Welsh & Open Indoor Championships 2010
The Welsh & Open Indoor Championships took place on 17th January 2010 at Llandaff City Bowmen's clubhouse in St Fagans, near Cardiff.
Geraint Thomas put in a superb performance recording a maximum score in the Gents Unlimited group and finishing just 2 Xs short of the Welsh Record. Meanwhile Nigel Kent produced an impressive display to edge of Dave Home by a single point for the silver medal.
The Gents Sighted Recurve group saw Neil Bowdler end Mathew Symmonds' 4 year winning run with an excellent performance to take the Championship. Meanwhile the battle for 3rd position saw Neil Vodden of Pentref shooting neck and neck with Peter Hatherley of Llantwit Major who eventually edged ahead to take the bronze medal.
In the Gents Unsighted Recurve group Mike Mattingley and Paul Watson produced some excellent shooting to take 1st and 2nd places on their first major indoor tournament.
It was a similar story in the Gents Longbow group where David Cartwright of Zenith Archers took gold at his first attempt with an excellent score.
In the team event the
Blackrock Pro team of Geraint Thomas, Dave Home and Mat Symmonds took the
team gold whilst Greenmeadow Bowmen landed the silver with Llantwit Major
finishing in 3rd place.
The WFAA General Committee would like to thank Blackrock Archery for
sponsoring this tournament. We would also like to thank everyone who
generously donated prizes for the raffle. Lastly, thanks to everyone who
attended for making the tournament one to remember..
