Sussex Archery

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Welcome to the official website of the Sussex County Archery Association.

We hope that Sussex archery clubs, their members and fellow archers in neighbouring counties find the information on the site useful and informative.  We also hope that you will contribute to the site by posting information on your club’s activities – open tournaments, club shoots, individual achievements, coaching, change of officers, etc, etc – to the site.

How do you post? First, set up an account by clicking the Register link close to the top of the sidebar on the right hand side of your screen.  Registering won’t take more than a few minutes, following which you can Log in (you’ll find the Log in link beneath the Register link).  When you’ve done that, click Write at the top left of your screen and then, well, write:-)  You’ll find some more user instructions here.

Someone somewhere has read that last paragraph and thought “I don’t have much in the way of PC skills. What if I do something and break the  site?”  At the risk of tempting Dr Sod to enter stage left, that’s very unlikely; but, in any case, we’ve set up a demo site for people to practise with (think of it as the cyber equivalent of two ends of sighters).

A gallery script, enabling you to upload photos, will be available to use in early December.

That’s probably enough to get people started, so it’s over to you.  The site will thrive or suffer a demise depending on whether or not it is updated regularly so, if you are a Sussex archer, get posting!
