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.

Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th August 2020  Includes Sussex 3D Championships
2-day shoot with the Open & Sussex Awards based on scores from BOTH days.

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.

The tournament was shot as a single detail, so it was unhurried with everyone on their way home at a very reasonable time. Saturday had been planned to suit Novice and Intermediate Archers, and some did take part, but not as many as hoped. But it was great to see the ones who did taking on their first ‘real’ tournament. The weather was windy on Saturday, overcast and showery at the start but turning warm and bright, Sunday was dry and sunny with a light wind.

Sussex Archer Bryony Pitman (Worthing AC and University of Northumbria), who was the GB reserve for the Rio Olympics, has qualified for Tokyo 2020, a massive and well-deserved achievement. Many congratulations from us all.

Sussex Juniors came out on top at the 3-way Match at Woking between Surrey, Kent and Sussex. Petra Ginman who was Team Captain also acted as Team Manager, and reports that the combined-bowstyle Junior team came out on top, with all the Senior Bowstyles ending in Second Place.

It is extremely sad to report the death of SCAA Vice-President Terry White, one of Sussex Archery’s greatest supporters over a remarkable span of sixty years. During that time Terry founded two Clubs in the Hastings area, and was Sussex Team Manager and a SCAA committee member for many years, eventually becoming Chairman, and was always a great innovator and encourager of archers, young and old. The funeral will be at Hastings Crematorium on Tuesday June 4th at 2 pm, and more details and a proper obituary will be posted here soon.
We’re sure Terry’s many friends in Archery will join together in sympathy with Pam, Trevor, Tyler and all Terry’s family.
