Your region needs you

Communications

The Regional Council has had a couple of vacancies during the past year and a couple more to fill going forwards.

Ideally we require two representatives to the Archery England committee, we have had one for the past year who is now not able to continue, all meetings are held remotely.

We require an Equipment Officer, the equipment at present is held not far from Dunster and we have been disposing of straw target bosses as the Regional Championship now uses Ten Zone services so not a massive amount of equipment although first job would possibly be an inventory of equipment.

Lizzy Rees is stepping down as the Regional Coaching Organiser and we are looking for an immediate replacement. Supporting with Coaching grant applications, coaching renewal applications and liaising with CCOs to progress coaching across the whole of GWAS. The CCO Team are absolutely lovely and very proactive – a good bunch to be working with!

Last but by no means least, Vicky Burden, is not continuing with organising the Junior Inter-Counties and Junior Indoor League, she has a new job and although she is still in post until the GWAS AGM in March, any interest now would mean a hand over from Vicky as the preparations begin for Junior Inter-Counties in September 2024.

Please feel free to join our happy team at GWAS Council, everyone is willing to help and support you in a new role, volunteering is essential to keep our sport continuing and growing.

Please contact us if you would like to enquire about any of the above.
