and Finally

Thank you to those members who have logged on to Archr and are submitting their scores. Please remind everyone that it is the responsibility of the archer to submit scores to the county and it is essential that scores are submitted to be considered for a place in the county team. Please contact records@archerykent.org.uk for more information.

Following last nights, Thursday 6th Oct, meeting, please note the following:

Scores returns: As previously stated there is a 4 way Indoor county match planned, so please remind all archers to submit all scores to the county via Archr. The reason we want all scores is to enable the selectors to ascertain current form. When submitting remember to include a copy of the result sheet for tournaments to verify the score, failure to do so means that it will be recorded as a practice round.

Subscriptions: Thank you to all clubs and individuals who have submitted their subs, a gentle reminder to those clubs that their returns are due and please remember to include the fee calculator or individual form as well as the AGB list of members.

Kent Club Tournaments: We are in the process of developing the calendar on the website to include tournaments run by Kent clubs, please forward the name of your shoot with the date for it to be included.

On the same note we are pleased to announce that in the summer of 2023 we will be holding the WA720 and the WA1440. Further details will be available once available.

Now that the indoor season is upon us, we need Kent Archers to submit their indoor scores. We are planning an Indoor County match on the 25th of February at Sittingbourne.

To pick a team we need archers to choose from and for that we need scores.

Please share this message with all members and encourage them to send in scores via Archr.

It is down to the Archers to submit scores for consideration.

Following the committee meeting of the 25.8.22, the following reminders and notes are for your attention.

New Committee: As is the norm following the AGM the first meeting involves any changes from the AGM and we welcomed your new Chair, Mr Marc Carroll, we look forward to working with you.

Coaching: Invicta Coaching are holding six coaching session’s with proposed dates of 15^th October, 12^th November, 10^th December.  Each day will have two three hour session, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  The cost for each session will be £15.00 and we hope to deliver one to one coaching for all.  If you are an archer who wants to improve or a coach that can help and want to see and learn from others please contact me via my email address chairman@gravesend-archers.co.uk

Kent League: There have been various leagues across Kent but now your secretary will be receiving a proposal for a county wide league. We are seeking your thoughts on the plans both from your club and members, please ask your secretary for a copy.

Team Selection: During the course of the year we are involved in various matches against neighbouring counties both indoor and out. We have a selection procedure which starts with submitting scores to the records officer. Several weeks prior to the match we will announce the rounds we will be looking for and by when. The selection panel will then number crunch and pick the team.

Score Submissions: The responsibility for submitting scores now lies with the archer and not the club records officers and to enable this to be as easy as possible we now use the Archr scoring system. To get more information and your individual access code please contact records@archerykent.org.uk.
