So this weekend sees the last AGB tournament of 2022. What do I get out of giving my time to these events? The privilege of being part of an amazing team who together put on world class events.
The only way you can find out how much you can enjoy it is to have a go. So why not take a look and see what you could be involved in.
Is it hard work? Yes. Will you enjoy it? I would be surprised if you don’t!! Will you want to do it again? I believe so!! My family of blue shirts are pretty amazing and achieve fantastic events by being the best team there is.
This weekend my amazing friend is joining us – let’s see how she gets on.
With everything that has gone on this year I had withdrawn from competition volunteering but that didn’t last very long did it 😂
I have volunteered at:
Junior National Outdoor Championships
European Youth Championships
European Para Championships
National Tour Finals
AGB National County Team Competition
AGB National Indoor Championships
Junior National Indoor Championships
18 days – you don’t have to give that much of your time 😂but I think you should give it a try and see what you think.
I was asked why I hadn’t just walked away this year and why I stayed with my sport and fought for my projects. There are still days I see it as a possibility- but it takes care of me as much as I take care of it! Plus I only have to start looking at stats to remind myself of what I am doing it for. I have been looking at numbers in a big way for the last month. I will share more of these another day but how about this one? Every week in Northamptonshire alone my Archery In Education project sees 225 children shoot on a weekly basis, that doesn’t include the ones who drop in for a taste!
Worth fighting for surely? Then there are my other projects!!
I have not lost sight of the ones I had to drop either, every now and then I look at them and ponder, could I pick them back up? It would be a lot on my own and at the moment I have to be realistic and say no.
Right I need a cuppa, see you Tuesday for 23 weeks!!
