World Archery Fan Reporters This season World Archery introduced a new volunteer media programme called Archery Fan Reporter (AFR) in their major events. The reporters developed daily stories (3-5 minutes in length) about aspects of major archery international events that were posted on www.archery.tv . The four selected reporters Melis BAGATIR (TUR), Robert HANSON (USA), ZHU Tian Shun and SONG Jia Yi (CHN) posted 20 videos on the Archery TV on YouTube that have been viewed more than 42,000 times so far. Melis BAGATIR from Turkey was the first one to take this role at the Field World Championships in Visegrad (HUN) in July. Then, 30-year old Robert HANSON (USA) took the role at the World Cup Stage 3 in Ogden, USA in August. Finally, ZHU Tian Shun and SONG Jia Yi (CHN) were the AFR in Shanghai for the World Cup stage 4 at the beginning of September. SONG Jia Yi, Cedric ROGER (FITA TV), ZHU Tian Shun The reporters were helped by the expertise of Hit the Roof Sàrl, which ensures the TV production of the archery broadcasts. Finally the pool of 2010 AFR was judged by a FITA review panel and the two Chinese candidates were declared the winners. Robert HANSON was invited to the World Cup Final in Edinburgh on 18-19 September 2010 to film the 'back of the scenes' of the event. ZHU Tian Shun and SONG Jia Yi will be invited by World Archery to go to Porec, Croatia for the World Cup 2011 Stage 1. They will perform the AFR videos in this competition as the prize of winning the contest in 2010. Archery TV The official highlights and Archery Fan Reporter's videos of the Archery World Cup Final 2010 Edinburgh are now on Archery TV . All matches have been published. The videos of the Archery Fan Reporter Robert HANSON (USA) in Edinburgh are also available on www.archery.tv : Making of the event Backstage of World Archery TV Archery Shoot Clean Campaign A Final Day with team GBR September 2010 World Archery Newsletter Page 4 The 26-minute highlights will be broadcast in numerous countries in the world including Great Britain (Sky), Korea (SBS), India (Ten Sports), Italy (RAI), Turkey (TRT) and France (Sport +) . Finally, the BBC has done its own 26-minute highlights. However, this is accessible in Great Britain only at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/archery/9014245.stm. World Archery Fan Questionnaire In February 2010 World Archery launched a questionnaire to know what archery fans think of World Archery events and how they follow archery in general. All completions were entered into a prize draw to win a trip for two to the Edinburgh World Cup Final. The winner of the contest was Laura KOURULA from Finland by drawing lots among the more than 1,400 fans who replied to the online survey. She took the trip to Edinburgh with Matti HATAVA. They are both 29-year old archers competing in Finland and at international level. Read their interview on www.archeryworldcup.org . Honours Olympic Champion meets Pope Benedict XVI The Italian Archery Federation represented by FITARCO President Mario SCARZELLA, 2004 Olympic champion Marco GALLIAZO, and FITA Secretary General and FITARCO Honorary Member Tom DIELEN, had the honour to be presented to the Pope Benedict XVI during his audience on 15 September 2010 at the Vatican. FITARCO was chosen by the Pope as they had won most medals in major international competitions the last years as Italian Federation. Other Italian team members present included Mauro NESPOLI, silver medallist at the Beijing Games, Natalia VALEEVA, twice world champion and Olympic bronze medallist, Olympian Elena TONETTA, Jessica TOMASI and the most recent medallist, Gloria FILIPPI who won gold at the Youth Olympics. Also present was the Paralympic medallist Oscar DE PELLEGRIN, new world record holder and the FITARCO Secretary General Alvaro CARBONI. Mario SCARZELLA presented a small silver bow to the Pope and informed him of the Archery World Cup Final taking in Edinburgh this week- end. Due to a coincidence in planning, the Pope will actually visit Edinburgh on Thursday and will pass next to the venue for the World Cup Final! During the audience close to 10,000 people were present and it was broadcast live on TV. After the audience a special visit was organised and the FITARCO delegation were also welcomed by the Vicario of the Vatican and the Secretary General of the Vatican. Judges International Youth Judge Seminar During the World Cup Stage 4 in Shanghai at the beginning of September 2010, and thanks to the Organising Committee, the FITA Judges Committee organised the 2nd international youth judge seminar. Combination with high level World Cup makes it possible for the candidates to observe how an event on FITA level is carried through, and thus gives a first class lecture for the youngsters. In addition to being able to observe and learn from the judges' performance on the spot, the candidates had lessons re judge duties in general, judging philosophy, judges procedures and of course all the specialities and understanding of our rules.

The evening was organised by George Matthews, and with lots of chocolates and sweets up for grabs, competition was fierce among those taking part! The Fancy Dress competition was won by Fiona Laing who came along as a very convincing snowman, and still managed to shoot! All members had to shoot using varying weight jelly bows and club arrows, so everyone had the same dis-advantages ! There were even some very special Christmas target faces supplied by club member and talented artist Jonathan Howlett. 14th December - Impressive Fundraising for Children in Need The junior section of Bannockburn Bowmen held a sponsored shoot in aid of Children in Need and raised an impressive £550. Event organiser Brenda Williams praised the juniors for their efforts, especially as the majority of them had only been shooting for 3 weeks when the sponsored shoot took place. Not only did they have to concentrate on their shooting, but they also ran a raffle, and many games for the adults to take part in. Douglas Blyth (the "senior" junior) did a great job with keeping everything running smoothly and ensuring all the jobs were done. Thanks too to all the club members who provided raffle prizes for the event. The attached photo shows some members of the junior section who took part in the Children in Need evening.
