Tony Alston and I are planning to start a new Level 1 Course, details of which are still being agreed. A Level 2 Course as and when we can. There will also be a Level 2 conversion for some coaches.

Tournament Officer Report

There have been no competitions since our last meeting to report on.

 

We have been given Record Status for the following competitions,

The Indoor shoot at Shap, County open two day, Fita Head to Head in July, Chris said that we did not get the World Record Status this time round for the new Fita Head to Head Competition, the reason given was this was our first major event of this type and GNAS wanted to see how we handled it first time round.

 

Cumbria will have a very busy shoot calendar that it is putting next year; these are Feb 10th Indoor Portsmouth, Record Status, at Shap

March 2nd Frostbite, possibly held at Egremont

May 25-26 Record Status two-day York-Hereford Open (including possibly a Junior Metric Round)

June 15th Pentangle Inter-County competition

July 19th-20th Record Status 70Mtr Head to Head Fita

July 26th-27th The Grand Northern

October 4th-5th Five Counties match

 

In addition Eagle Bowmen will be holding a Clout Competition, where free camping is available.

So all in all a busy year a to come

.

Chris pointed out that at the Intercounty Clout competition last weekend Alan Beatty was 1st in Longbow and that he Chris had come third in the Recurve section.

Child protection Report

The updated CPO rules have still not been released.

There is a course in November and I strongly recommend that anyone who comes into contact with children through archery should do the course; this includes those who help at events such as Lowther’s ‘Have a go’ where there are many juniors who turn up to shoot.

These courses are important.

A yearly police check is coming soon on all those who are CRB checked, this should not be viewed as a threat, it is just something that needs doing.

 

County Squad Report

At the moment I am putting together a list of archers for a team for the forthcoming Five Counties shoot at Newcastle, I have managed to recruit David Gregson, and I am awaiting a reply from Alan Wills to say if he will be available, I also have Rob Faulkner and Simon Degler in the frame for the recurve team, I am struggling in some other areas to fill places, and would welcome any assistance in selection in these areas.
