Casting aside current concerns about the immediate future of the 2009 Outdoor Championships, Sussex can look forward to a sell-out at the next shoot in its archery calendar on 15th March at the K2 in Crawley.

Just 39 places remain unfilled in the Southern Counties Archery Society (SCAS) Indoor Championships, 15 in the Sussex Indoor Team Championship and 41 in the Sussex Indoor Individual Championship.  If you and your club wish to shoot in this event, now is the time to download your entry forms and send them to the Tournament Organiser:

Many thanks to those who have come forward to help on the weekend of the shoot.  Six more volunteers are needed to assist with setting up the hall between 6 pm and 9 pm on Saturday 14th March.  Another four are needed on the day of the shoot, Sunday 15th March.

Roger Wolff continues to live in hope rather than expectation of some people swapping action for talk but, for the record, he can be contacted by calling 01273 204428.

Don’t panic!

SCAS and Sussex CAA Indoor Championships 2009

Monday, November 24th, 2008

The 2009 Sussex CAA indoor Championships will take place at the K2, Pease Pottage Hill, Crawley, West Sussex, RH11 9BQ.

We are pleased to be hosting the 2009 Southern Counties Archery Society (SCAS) Indoor Championships as part of the same event. The SCAS Indoor will take place during the day’s first session, followed by the Sussex Team Championship and, finally, the Sussex Individual Championships.

All three competitions have been awarded national record status by Archery GB (GNAS).

Useful links: K2 website, K2 map and directions, SCAS website.

The K2

The K2 is a really cracking venue, one of the best available to archers in the Southern Counties region, and we’re sure that you will enjoy shooting there. It is also easily accessible from both the A23 and M23, so the travelling distance and time for every archer within the SCAS region is reasonable.

The venue’s facilities, including the cafeteria, will be open all day. The main hall is spacious, warm and well lit, making it the ideal venue for indoor archery. It can accommodate 32 target butts – that’s 128 archers – in each session, so this will be a big and memorable event.

All three competitions are open to individuals and clubs affiliated to GNAS or another FITA Member Association. Archers from our neighbouring counties are very welcome to shoot in the Sussex Individual Championships, which will take place after the SCAS Indoor.

Also note that the Sussex Team Championships is open to clubs from outside Sussex. The 2008 Championships included teams from Canterbury Archers of Kent and Mole Valley Bowmen from Surrey and, dare we say it, the tournament was very enjoyable for everyone who took part. We hope to see more clubs from outside Sussex at the 2009 Championships.

Don’t miss out on what will be an excellent conclusion to this year’s indoor season: download your entry forms and send them to the organisers today.

Entry forms: pdf format; Word document.

This will save you postage, make life easier for the organisers (show some love, people) and you’ll also receive an acknowledgement by e-mail when your entry form is received.

Record status

This is a record status event and so adherence to the GNAS dress code (see Rule 307) is mandatory. There will be no exceptions.

Please note that your footwear must also be suitable for indoor venues, i.e. it should have white soles and must not mark or otherwise damage the hall floor.

Any archer asked to provide a sample for drug testing must comply. A refusal will be treated as a positive result. A parent or guardian must sign a junior’s entry form to signify their consent to their child being tested. They should also explain the implications of drug testing to their child.
