As this pandemic lockdown is on we thought we’d finish up a project we were working on in the Committee. We’ve created a managment interface for the Sussex Rankings pages so from now on it’s all digital, no PDFs are being generated and you’ll always see the latest revisions of our rankings at the following links:

When an archer calls out ‘FAST!’ it means ‘Hold Fast!’ and shooting must stop immediately, which is what we’ve had to do. All Archery Club and County Association activity has stopped as part of the national effort to bring the Coronavirus under control, and is likely to stay that way until June at the earliest. That also means all Beginners Lessons and Archery Tasters are on hold Nation-wide until the end of the crisis.

None of the planned County Tournaments have been cancelled yet as the first isn’t until mid July, but a number of earlier events have been wiped out:-  the County team-building day in April, the Match vs Hampshire in May and the Personal Development Workshops (which will be postponed until we get the all-clear).

Everything is subject to being changed, depending on how things develop. News will be posted here as it comes in. We hope you all keep well and we’re all looking forward to getting outdoors again before too long.

We have 33 bosses for sale due to an equipment refresh. Both individuals and clubs are eligible to buy them. Most of the bosses are Elevens, 10 of them are Tenzones. They are on a good overall condition.

Planning for 2020: Some proposals and Open Discussion about how Sussex Clubs and SCAA can work together this year to respond to interest in the sport prompted by the Tokyo Olympics, including co-ordinating Taster and Have-A-Go events and setting up a programme of events to engage Juniors and Novice Archers and encourage them to join in more of the activities going on around the County. The focus being on making the various branches of the sport more accessible and interesting so that intermediate archers will discover more aspects of Archery to capture their interest.
All Clubs are encouraged to send representatives – and to join in with opinions and suggestions.

We don’t usually do this, however it is also unusual that an archer we know passes away in a young age.
The list of equipment below is being sold by the bereaved parents.

In the first instance please contact Philip van Buren, SCAA President, and friend of the family on archeryleaders@gmail.com as the go-between. 

All this gear is for sale ideally as a ‘job-lot’ but offers for individual items will be considered. Please respect the feelings of the parents when making them realistic offers.
