Honorary Life Membership of GNAS for Derek

Derek Sangster became the 1st Scot to be awarded a Honorary Life Membership of GNAS at the Society's AGM last month at Lilleshall. As GNAS only allow a maximum of twelve of these to exist at one time this is a rare honour and given in recognition of many years of selfless service to archery. Derek started archery in 1977 and since then has held many roles and served on many committees at Club, Regional and National level including as a County Coach spending 15 years as a Leader Trainer, and serving for six years as GNAS Director for Scotland. He is perhaps best know to many of us as a well respected National Judge. Typically when I caught up with Derek he was helping his Club, Lasswade Archers, mark out their field for the summer.
