SPRING 2014 • ARCHERY UK 82 FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We would like to thank the following sponsors and partners And finally For long term support of our core programmes: t is great to know just how many of you care so deeply about our wonderful sport of archery. So thank you to Ieverybody who turned out, whatever the weather, to take part in our Governance Roadshows. There were some great nights with excellent, lively and sometimes robust debate. It’s been a really positive experience Performance Sponsor: and we have been able to use your feedback from the meetings and consultation to shape the proposals we will put to the AGM. So again, thank you, well done and I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the University of Derby on 26 April. The governance proposals were among the issues debated when I For helping us raise standards: met our Regional Chairmen for two days of talks at Archery GB headquarters. It was really interesting to find out what they thought about it and to listen to their suggestions and ideas. We also worked through the changes brought about by the new Disciplinary Policy and the revised way the Case Management Panel will handle complaints. There are other key differences too but you can read more about them on 2013 Archery GB National Series: page 56 of this issue or go to the Archery GB website for the full policy. I was privileged to welcome Jennie Price, Chief Executive of Sport England, to our last Board meeting. We have built a very strong relationship with Sport England and it was great to be able to discuss the future development of the sport – and sport in general – ask her opinion and seek her advice. It was a thought-provoking, enlightening and, ultimately, very Sponsors announced for 2014: valuable experience. It was great to attend the European Archery Festival in Telford. What a fantastic event! Everyone was smiling and the atmosphere just buzzed. It was a brilliant showcase for our sport and an absolute credit to the organisers and everyone who was involved in it.Again it showed the world what we can do and well done to the many volunteers and Archery GB members who delivered it. Summer is almost here and, like many of you, I cannot wait for the outdoor season to get into full swing. It will be great to get outside into the fresh air and shoot with the sun on our faces. I look forward too seeing you at one of the many events happening over the coming months and having as chat. In the meantime, good shooting.
