Welsh Field Archery Association

The merger of the BFAA and EFAA was designed to bring the sport under a single governing body, but this did not suit most members.

This development precipitated a meeting of the Welsh Company of Archers, which was held at Glyncornel Centre, Rhondda, in December 1969, where it was decided to form the Welsh Field Archery Association (WFAA) as the governing body of the sport of field archery in Wales.

[3] This development spelt the birth of today's WFAA and the now well-known format in the UK, where each Home Nation has its own governing body.

This format also means that Great Britain is not represented in the IFAA code of field archery at the international level.

National and international tournaments are usually hosted by member clubs but managed directly by the WFAA General Committee.

Wales has had 4 world champions in its history: Fabien Spalvieri (2003),[4] Mathew Symmonds (2008, 2010, 2014),[5][6][7] Gary Hart (2013)[8] and Sandra Anderson (2015).
