Following the resignation of Phil Adams, the Committee are pleased to announce that Steve Hooper has been appointed as interim Junior Team Manager.

The appointment has been made interim as the Committee is in the process of redefining the job description for this post.

Steve will be taking up his duties immediately until a permanent replacement is found and we wish him all the best in his new role.

John Humphrey has been co-opted onto the Committee as Equipment Co-ordinator. He will be making an inventory of all equipment and will look after the equipment needs for all tournaments. We wish him all the best in this new role.

Andrew Holdsworth – Chair SCAA

At the AGM on 25th January 2009, it was decided that the proposed changes to the trophies and awards should be published together with the existing practice.

The main reasons for the review are to:

• provide a consistent reference for future tournament organisers
• accommodate all the different bow types into the scheme
• review trophies which could be made redundant or reused

Three documents have been prepared which have been reviewed by the SCAA Committee and these are as follows:

• FITA Awards
• Championships – Visitor Awards
• Championships – Sussex Awards

The documents give the existing practice and Options for change. Where the Committee has agreed on an Option this is given, otherwise it has been shown as ‘For debate’.

The timetable for review is as follows:

• 15th May 2009 - All comments on the documents to be received
• 15th June 2009 – Results published with recommendations

Please can you as a Sussex Archer please comment on these documents either by adding a Comment below or sending your comments to the Chairman by 15th May 2009.

A County Conference was held in Hurstpierpoint VIllage Hall on 15th February 2009 attended by Chairpersons, Secretaries and Treasurers of Sussex Clubs.

Clubs and individual archers should read the outcome of the discussions as some ideas could be implemented by them immediately.

The Committee will be also taking action on those matters which affect them directly.
