Durham & Northumberland Archery Association

The Durham & Northumberland Archery Association (DNAA) is a county-level governing body for archery in the north-east of England. It operates across the two historic counties of Durham and Northumberland and is one of the five county associations within the Northern Counties Archery Society (NCAS). The association is affiliated to the Grand National Archery Society, now known as Archery GB, the national governing body for archery in the United Kingdom. DNAA provides county governance, organises and supports competitions, maintains county records, and helps connect clubs and archers throughout its region. It represents 35 clubs and has supported archery across the two counties for more than 75 years, having been established in 1949. The association's website, dnaa.co.uk, has served the county archery community since around 2000, acting as a central source of news, competition information, records, governance documents and other updates. The site is updated as results, record claims and other information are received, and affiliated clubs are encouraged to report any needed amendments. Governance is handled by a committee whose first six positions are the county's executive roles, with additional elected and appointed officers. Some positions are elected annually at the County AGM, while other officers are appointed no later than the first committee meeting following the AGM. Every affiliated club may send two representatives to committee meetings, allowing clubs to participate in discussion and county decision-making. The association also points archers to the Archery GB Club Finder to locate affiliated clubs in the county.
