Joyce Harding, a member of Imperial Archers, was a keen Coach and encouraged archers at all levels of competence.  In memory of her achievements four silver salvers were purchased to be presented at the society's Annual General Meeting for the most improved archers - Men, Women, Junior Men and Junior Women.

The following Archery GB age categories are eligible for the Men and Women Salvers;

50+
Senior
Under 21

The following Archery GB age categories are eligible for the Junior Men and Junior Women Salvers;

Under 18
Under 16
Under 15
Under 14
Under 12

All categories of bow type are included.

The Salver will be presented for the greatest reduction in an individual's outdoor handicap from the beginning of the year to the end of September.  Records Officers should check the Archery GB procedures for calculating the start of year handicaps.

For 2023 only - Due to the change in the Handicap System by Archery GB and the removal of archers existing handicaps, the Salver award criteria will follow the Archery GB suggestion that clubs award based on their archers’ improvement between 1 July and 30 September.  We will then revert to the normal process for 2024.
