Two dates for your 2010 diary.

Sussex will once again host the SCAS Indoor Championships on Sunday 7th March, 2010 at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley.  The Sussex Individual and Team Championships will take place on the same date at the same venue.  The tournament organiser will be assisted by John Humphrey of Ditchling AC (Equipment Co-ordinator) and Symon Grinham of Crawley AC, who has agreed to take responsibility for setting up the venue and organising a field crew on the day of the shoot.

Sunday 30th May is the provisonal date for the inaugural Sussex Open Barebow and Longbow Championships. The round and venue have yet to be decided, but these will be announced next month.  This shoot has come about as a result of the County Committee’s awareness of the growing number of barebow and longbow archers in Sussex.  You pays yer subs and you gets yer money’s worth.

Both shoots will have record status.  More information will follow soon.

Also planned for 2010 are two Sussex clout shoots (one GNAS, one FITA, dates to follow), while the possibility of staging an East Sussex v West Sussex match and an outdoor team championship is being mulled over.  Sussex archers are telling their Committee that they want more shoots in the County, so we are taking note and doing something to meet that demand.  Nothing, however, can be done without your help.  It will be a doddle if enough people can provide two or three hours’ of their time, so please respond positively if you are asked to lend a hand.
