World Archery Member Associations need to be pro-active in developing new skills as well as to be receptive to new ideas and methods which are necessary in the continuously evolving world of archery administration. Therefore, the Management Seminar aimed at the chief executive officer of the Member Associations, mainly General Secretaries, CEO's and/or Presidents depending on the size and structure of the federation.

The participants were split in four small groups in order to facilitate the exchange among them. The groups rotated on the four workshops: General Management, Marketing & Business Development, Communication & PR, and Development &

The seminar also meant a jump-start for the World Archery Plan 2012-2017, which aims to further develop the Member Associations, to transfer knowledge and experience between the World Archery members.

World Archery Secretary General Tom DIELEN said: "We are delighted with what the participants brought to this seminar. We have heard incredible success stories, some from Member Associations that have very little resources. Now, we all need to go back to the office and work on what we have learned from each other. And don’t hesitate to contact us or other participants from the seminar if you need help in a particular topic. Together, we can make our sport bigger!"

The World Archery Management Seminar 2011 was delivered in collaboration with the Education Partner, SINERGI Sports Consulting ( www.sinergi.ch ) and was funded by the International Foundation for the Development of Archery (FIDTA).

Anti-Doping Administration World Archery is happy to announce that they have decided to outsource their anti-doping administration to SportAccord as of 1 January 2012. Whereas World Archery remains fully responsible for every aspect of the anti-doping programme, the staff of SportAccord’s Doping-Free Sport Unit (DFSU) will handle the administrative aspects on behalf of World Archery and work in close cooperation with World Archery to do so.

Therefore, World Archery kindly requests their Member Associations to take note of these changes and only use the contact details below to communicate with World Archery on anti-doping matters: ‹ For organisations with testing programmes, to liaise with sample collection agencies for in- competition testing at World Archery competitions in their country and to ensure the Doping Control Forms (DCFs) related to any such tests are forwarded to the correct address ‹ For national federations having athletes in the World Archery Registered Testing Pool (RTP), to ensure that they submit their whereabouts in ADAMS and that the relevant Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) are submitted. ‹ For RTP athletes, to ask for help regarding ADAMS and the whereabouts requirements or any other doping related subject

Congress Award During its Congress held in , Italy on 1-2 July 2011, World Archery awarded a special award to Klaus Dietrich SCHULZ (GER). The "father" of the FITA Rule Book for a long time received the title of Honorary Chairman of the Constitution and Rules Committee.

As Klaus SCHULZ was not present in Turin to receive the award from World Archery, the German Shooting Federation (DSB) chose the closing festivities of the 150th anniversary of their foundation in 1861 to hand over the award to him. He was received on Friday night, 18 November with a reception and a solemn ceremony in Coburg at the castle of their protector the Duke of Sachsen Coburg and Gotha in front of selected guests.

As the last point of the ceremony Josef AMBACHER, President of the German Shooting and Archery Federation, explained to the audience why World Archery had conferred this distinction on Klaus SCHULZ and handed over the award to him under general applause.

"I feel very honoured by the award conferred on me by the Torino Congress. I was completely surprised by this recognition and felt deeply touched. Now I am grateful and proud of the fact that World Archery appreciates my contribution to archery so highly. Working for FITA, for World Archery has enriched my life", Klaus SCHULZ said.

Future Events

World Cup 2012 Stage 3 Easton Sports Development Foundation will host the Archery World Cup 2012 Stage 3 at a new venue, the Golden Spike Event Center in Ogden, Utah. The World Cup event and Final Olympic Qualifier for Teams and Individual is scheduled on 17-23 June. Prior to hosting the event at the Golden Spike Event Center, the competition was held at Weber State University (WSU). This year Promontory Towers at WSU are scheduled for demolition.

The Easton Foundations believe they carry a responsibility to provide the athletes with a competition venue that is free of all possible distractions during this important event. It may not be possible at Weber State University with an ongoing construction project across the street from the competition field, so a new location has been decided upon.

"This decision has been a difficult, since the Foundation has enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Weber State University. We feel the location change is in the best interest of the athletes who are attending. Many of the athletes will not only compete in the third leg of the World Cup in Ogden, but will also compete in the Last Chance Olympic Qualifier, where those teams that have not secured a spot in the 2012 Olympics in will have their final opportunity to do so," said Robert ROMERO, Local Organising Committee President. "The Easton Foundation would like to thank the Weber State staff for their efforts in making previous Archery World Cup events so successful."

Asian Games 2014 World Archery has been informed by the 2014 Incheon Asian Games Organizing Committee (IAGOC) that a compound event will be included in the competition programme together with recurve. The next Asian Games will be held from 19 September to 4 October 2014 in Incheon, Korea. The archery competition will be conducted in the form of a Qualification Round followed by an Olympic Round for Recurve and the Compound Match Round for Compound.

For the first time compound will be included in the competition programme. Therefore, there will be eight archery events altogether in the Incheon Asian Games including recurve men and women individual and team as well as compound men and individual and team.

The official website of the competition is www.incheon2014ag.org .

World Archery 3D Championships 2015 World Archery has received bid interest from the French Archery Federation regarding the 2015 World Archery 3D Championships. We remind all interested parties that further information on bidding process can be found on our website: www.worldarchery.org , section World Championships > General > Bid Documents.

Marrakesh International Indoor Morocco hosted the 2nd International Indoor Archery Tournament in Marrakesh on 18-20 November 2011 under the theme of " of Peace". The hosts were very pleased by the success of this three-day event. It was truly a unique way to start the world indoor archery season.

"The event has been enriched by participants from Africa, Asia and Europe represented by seven countries (Morocco, Algeria, Belgium, France, Iraq, Netherland and Switzerland) including top level archers like Thomas AUBERT (FRA), Sarah PRIEELS (BEL), Michael CAUWE (BEL), Christophe DOUSSOT (FRA) and Pascale LEBECQUE (FRA), plus participation of the two professional photographers Dean ALBERGA (NED) and Jean-Denis GITTON (FRA)", said Meriam EL MAHIRI, President of Association Club Arc de Marrakech De Tir à l'Arc—the event organiser.

Many archers who joined last year’s competition also participated this year and are looking forward to the next tournament in Marrakesh in 2012. After three days of competition, the following winners were determined in exciting gold medal matches: Thomas AUBERT and Ellen LEBECQUE from France in the recurve division and Michael CAUWE and Sarah PRIEELS from Belgium in the compound division.

What makes this competition unique is not only the very warm welcoming, hospitality and professional organisation, but also the cultural programme organised for all participants. After a sightseeing tour on Friday, the archers discovered the wonderful and magnificent city of Marrakesh, the "Pearl of the South", in horse-drawn carriages on Saturday, culminating in a big colourful closing party in a typical Morrocan restaurant including many traditional music and horse riding shows on Sunday.

"With 51 participants from seven different nations, the Organising Committee has come a big step closer to its goal of giving this tournament a really international atmosphere", added Meriam EL MAHIRI.

Mongolian Archery Olympic Solidarity (OS) awarded two scholarships for Mongolian archers for their London 2012 Olympic preparation. Also in 2009 a coaches’ scholarship was given to the Mongolian head coach Badamkhatan TSOGT.

The World Archery Development Department was contacted by the Mongolian National Olympic Committee (NOC) to inform them of the qualification of two archers for the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games. Mongolia's last qualification for the Olympic Games was in 1996 for Atlanta. "This is a tremendous success for Mongolia Archery", said Otgontsagaan JUDGER, Secretary General of Mongolian NOC.

The team is training at the moment in Erdenet which is about 350km from the capital city, . Erdenet is very well known for its mining industry which is also the main sponsor of the Mongolian Archery Association. Badam TSOGT's (head coach) programme is mainly based on general conditioning and specific training, as well as some technical shots, development and daily training on the field. TSOGT was awarded "BEST COACH" in 2008 by the President of Mongolia.

The first gold medal in Mongolian sports history was in archery. Doljin DEMBEREL won a gold medal at the World Championships in 1971 in Knavesmire, , United Kingdom. World Archery (still FITA at that time) awarded gold medals to the highest score shot at each distance (72 arrows) of a Double FITA Round. DEMBEREL scored 641 points at 30 metres, which was the highest score at the distance, and thus she won a gold medal.

World Archery would like to express its gratitude to the OS and Mongolia NOC for their tremendous support in the development of our sport.

Equipment Assistance Programme World Archery along with Development partners can assist some Member Associations (MAs) to obtain archery equipment at favourable conditions in the frame of assisting those MAs in putting in place their development strategic plan. MAs who wish to benefit of this assistance are required in the first place to send their strategic development plan to World Archery: [email protected] .

The MAs that submit such a plan will then be added to the World Archery world list of eligible countries to request the archery equipment assistance programme. You may consult this list at www.worldarchery.org , section Development > Start Archery.

The MAs that require assistance to prepare their development strategic plan can find some examples from other MAs at the bottom of the same World Archery web page mentioned above.

This assistance programme will vary based on the project interest and consistency to put in place the strategic development plan but also on what the World Archery development partners can offer. The partners offer 10% discount on the distributor price but also donations. For any further information on this programme, you are requested to contact Pascal COLMAIRE, World Archery Development & Education Director at [email protected] .

European Coaching Course Conductors The second leg of the European training of Coaching Course Conductors in archery will take place from 22-26 April 2012 in Compiègne, France.
