    Olympic volunteers/Games makers

However, I saw a comment on the Archery GB website that...

I'm asking specifically with regards to records.Our club recently held a Warwick/Double Warwick competition, as there were no records in existence in Scotland.But we've been told that because there is no National GNAS record for...
