LAA have had a longstanding award for archery services to Lancashire, The Fred Dillon Award, but it was felt that we should also have an award honouring the sterling work done by volunteers at club level. To this end The Jean & Roger Stretton Award was introduced and first awarded in 2023.

Kindly donated by – and named after – two longstanding Lancashire archers, Jean & Roger have contributed at Club, County and National level. Both have been Senior Judges, LAA Committee Members & LAA President, and both have worked extremely hard to move archery forward in Lancashire.

• Any Lancashire archer may be nominated for The Jean & Roger Stretton Award, but can only hold the trophy once.

• The trophy will not be awarded for an archer’s ability to shoot, but will be given to the person that the judges deem to have made the greatest contribution towards the improvement and/or support of archery within their club/clubs in any given year.

• Nominations must come from affiliated clubs/members, and must include full details of the service rendered. Each nomination must carry the proposers name and signature + email and/or phone number, and the name and signature of one other person who is in full agreement with the nomination.

• The LAA Secretary will send the nomination forms out by email prior to the LAA championships, there will be a clear closing date given in the email.

• Unsuccessful nominations will be carried forward. We will contact proposers to confirm inclusion in the following years’ award process.
