The Grand National Archery Society
The GNAS is the recognised Governing Body for all forms of archery in the United Kingdom and is currently responsible for approximately 25,000 members. The GNAS is affiliated to the International Archery Federation (FITA) and is a member of the British Olympic Association. UKSport and Home Nation Sports Council are also involved, generously providing valuable assistance with the Society's long term plans. By virtue of these affiliations and memberships, archery is represented in the Olympic Games, World and European Championships and other international events. The GNAS is also responsible for its own National Tournaments, usually organised and hosted by leading archery clubs or groups.
