We’re incredibly proud to share a recent feature from BBC Wales Today highlighting one of our longest-serving members, Roger Rees-Evans.

Roger has been part of Neath Archers for over 40 years, and during that time has not only achieved remarkable success on the shooting line, but has also helped shape the sport of archery for visually impaired athletes across the UK and beyond. Completely blind, Roger continues to shoot regularly at the club, supported by his son Graham acting as his spotter.

From multiple national titles to international success, and as a founding figure of the British Blind Sport Archery Section, Roger’s contribution to archery is truly exceptional. His work has helped create opportunities, develop competition pathways, and drive greater accessibility within the sport.

His achievements were recently recognised at the British Blind Sport Awards, where he received the 50th Anniversary Legacy Award – a fitting tribute to decades of dedication and impact.

We’re delighted to see Roger’s story shared more widely, and even prouder to have him as part of Neath Archers.
