Golden Records goes Live

Please share with all club members and Kent members.

Score Submission – new online platform

The ARCHR.net score keeping programme is not being maintained so has fallen behind Archery GB’s changes to rounds, handicaps, & classifications.As a result, KAA have had to switch to a different platform: Golden Records.

Golden Records is up to date and is actively maintained.  It also includes field rounds, which were never catered for on ARCHR.net. 

Existing Kent records and ARCHR scores have been transferred to Golden records.  Scores that were submitted by clubs and individuals, since January 2022, have also been uploaded to Golden Records. Scores for 2023 havehad their handicap and classification updated in line with Archery GB.

To enable this,all Kent archers who have submitted scores in the past 18 months, either directly or via club record officers, have had a new Golden Records account created.

Golden Records is now live!

Next Steps:

Archers who previously supplied an email address in order to use ARCHR.net will be sent an email with log in details.  ARCHR.net will not accept new scores from 9th August.

Those who previously relied on their club records officer are asked to email the KAA records officer: records@archerykent.org.uk

Reminder:

The responsibility to submit scores lies with individual archers NOT club records officers. This change was made in 2020 because very few clubs were submitting scores so talented archers may have felt overlooked.

All scores should have proof attached,e.g., an official competition results sheet, an IANSEO screenshot, a signed scoresheet (app generated or paper based).

When selecting Kent teams,the selection committee will give priority to proven scores.

Notes from the Ops Meeting

Firstly a massive congratulations to two of our juniors shooting the Youth World Championship, Silver for Isabella Bruguier and Bronze for Ajay Scott. Well done to you both.

Change of Team Manager Following many years in the role Peter Dallas has stood down from the position of Team Manager, every one at KAA would like to thank Peter for the relentless service given to KAA. Hannah Brown has kindly stepped up to fill the gap and we’re sure that you will all give her your support.

KAA introduces new award, following discussions with our former President Derrick Lovell we have set up an award in his name to recognise execelence from our juniors. This award is not limited to success with the bow but where a junior excels in any aspect in our sport. For more details dowload the outline here

A reminder that the KAA AGM will be on the 6th Aug 2023, 7pm to be held at Inrange Archery Wrotham.

Junior Scores, in the last post we notified you of a Junior County Match and in order to build a team to compete we need juniors to submit their scoers via the Golden Records platform. Please contact the records officer to get the access codes and submit your scores.

With one week to go don’t forget to get your entry in for the WA1440, details available here.

Good Shooting Everyone.
