We
are disappointed to announce that due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic we
have taken the difficult decision to cancel both the Wiltshire WA in July, and
the 3-day County Championship weekend in August also additionally cancel all
junior and senior County Archery Team events for the remainder of the calendar
year.
•
The Wiltshire WA is part of the wider 2-day Supermarine Weekend which has also
been cancelled as announced by themselves earlier today. All entrants will be
contacted by the Tournament Organiser regarding their fees.
•
Entry for the 3-day County Championship weekend had not yet opened pending a
decision since Lockdown started.
•
The junior and senior County Archery Team events cancelled include the DWAA vs
HAA match at the Andover FITA Star in July, the National County Team Tournament
at Lilleshall in June and both the junior and senior GWAS Regional Inter-county
Tournaments in September even if the events themselves may eventually go ahead.
All team members should have been contacted by their respective Team Managers.
•
The ArcheryGB Big Weekend in May and GWAS Dunster Championships in June are
already announced as being cancelled.
We
apologise for any inconvenience this causes. This decision is due to the
continued impact of the coronavirus outbreak along with ensuring the safety of
archers, judges, organisers and other people involved in these events and to
allow archers to focus on their own clubs and memberships during the ongoing
difficulties.
We thank Supermarine Bowmen and South Wilts AC for agreeing
to originally host the two cancelled shooting events.
