Großalmerode Trophy
In October 2016, Royston’s twin town Großalmerode brought a couple of archers (Michael Soeder and Martin Trebing) over to meet and shoot with our club as part of the twinning event that year. After a successful shoot, they presented the club with a trophy. This trophy will be awarded to the archer with the most improved handicap during the previous outdoor season.
