The EYRA was formed in the early nineteen hundred and covered clubs that were in the old East Riding of Yorkshire and the City of Hull, organising competitions and leagues (shoulder to shoulder) at first then changing to postal as the trend changed.
Unfortunately the number of clubs in the East Riding area have now been reduced to seven, making it impossible to organise league shooting as with a big difference team averages it has made the results predictable.
At the recent Association AGM a proposal was made to increase the area in which we could canvas more clubs. This required us to change the association’s constitution and discuss an agreement with the Yorkshire Association.
We have now come to an agreement on how the East Yorkshire Association competitions can be integrated with the Yorkshire so as to complement the whole program and all can be downloaded from the Yorkshire Association website.
