The Mercury Bay Archery Club ran two very successful International Tournaments - the Oceania Continental Championships in 2012 and the 70th Archery New Zealand National Championships & Open in 2013. We now have the hosting rights for the 71st Archery NZ National Championships & Open, Janaury 4th - 10th 2014.
Events of this size take a lot of planning, volunteer work and funding. We are hoping to raise money to put towards the running of the tournament and also for prize money not only for the Open Divison winners, but the Juniors and Masters to offer encouragement for the younger and thanks to the latter. Prize money and well run tournaments also attract overseas archers who raise the profile of our tournament, attract others to come and compete alongside or watch and learn.
The Mercury Bay Archery Club want 2014 to be bigger and even more successful for the archers, organisers and the community.
