It was my priviledge to present 'The Red Tassel' to Chris Bushell at the ECAA Field Championships today (4th October) in the presence of his peers. Click here for a historic list of the awards made
Marlene Hutchins

I would just like to thank all involved for the Red Tassel awarded to me at the Essex Field Championships. This really is a great honour and one which was totally unexpected. I actually felt my jaw drop physically when Marlene announced my name!
Essex is a great County for archery, and I have always felt myself lucky to have discovered the sport here. After 31 years I still get a kick from shooting which I don't get from anything else, and like a lot of us I like to put a little bit back into a sport from which I get so much pleasure. It is very special to be recognised for that effort in this very special way.
My thanks again
Chris Bushell
