As both the junior and senior GWAS inter counties have been cancelled for 2020 an event is being worked on for these unique times.
Initial details can be found on the following link
Please be advised that GWAS will be holding their previously postponed AGM virtually using GoToMeeting on Sunday 23 August at 14:00.
The following link gives access to the AGM documentation.
The officer nomination forms must be submitted by 14:00 on Sunday 16 August 2020. This is applicable for the officers of the society being President, Chairman, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasuer as per clauses 20 and 21 of the GWAS constitution. Although the constitution allows for other positions to be submitted on the day it would be much appreciated if these could be submitted by noon on Saturday 22 August thus allowing the virtual AGM to proceed easier.
Fellow Archers
At Burnham Company of Archers we are fortunate to have 7 day access to our own field and have been able to open to allow members to shoot. We have opened 4 booking slots a day , 9 – 11, 12 – 2, 3 – 5, and 6 – 8 (the latest slot can be shot until dark). On the field we have put out 6 fixed targets, 2 at 30m, 1 at 50m, 1 at 60m, 1 at 70m, and 1 at 90m. Currently we have spare capacity within our availability and have looked at ways to open this up to the wider archery community. Based on this we can offer 2 x types of associate membership to members of AGB up to the end of September
There are no further shooting fees. Members need to provide their own target faces and pins, and book a specific target before attending the field
At the end of September any associate will be free to re-join the club on our standard annual associate membership fee, as the field remains open all year round
If you are interested please contact the club secretary at secretary@burnhamcompanyofarchers.co.uk and further details about joining can be sent out
We are also running a WA720 open shoot on Sunday 16th August. We have 3 sessions 9am, 12pm and 3pm, allowing people to come to the field and shoot a 720 round, with other archers, under Covid-19 restrictions and controls. The cost of this is £5 per session. If this is of interest please contact tournaments@burnhamcompanyofarchers.co.uk. Please note that numbers will be strictly limited
I trust this may be of interest
Regards
Burnham Company of Archers Committee
