Message from the Committee- 14/6/17

Morning 3DAAA, firstly I would like to introduce myself, as of 4 something PM Saturday afternoon, I was awarded the position of Secutary of 3DAAA.

Currently I have authority to communicate to all members that, Issues have been raised at the AGM and after pertaining to protocol and procedure of the agm and information within the current constitution and legalities.

At this time I am gathering all of the information together which will include a series of events, at the AGM, ...decisions made at the AGM, and results.

As this is less than 2 days into my new role, could I please ask all members of 3DAAA to please refrain from posts speculating as to what is going on. I would also like to suggest that ALL members read the guidelines stated in the 3DAAA Facebook page and adhere to the information.

It is the policy of the 3DAAA committee NOT to post in this forum to avoid arguments and any information that is not the View of 3DAAA.

So on behalf of all of your committee I apologise for what seems to be not communicating with you all.
To ensure that we go forward and communicate effectively with all of our members I have also obtained authority of the 3DAAA Commitee to set up an independent 3DAAA communication page for out going information.
This page will take me a day or two to set up, and it will be the official Voice of your elected officials to communicate with all of the Facebook members.
This page is going to be very simple and intended for sharing of official information to the members as fast as possible.

At this time I am unable and unauthorised to pass on any further information. Please feel free to comment but understand it is the policy set by the past committees that ALL members of the 3DAAA committee are not to post with out authority.

Individuals who comment regardless of member status as this is an open public page are all governed by the rules with in the Facebook page.

2017 SPONSORSHIPS AND INCENTIVES

The 3DAAA committee is pleased to announce some exciting new sponsorship & incentive programs.

*We are honoured to once again have Hoyt as a Platinum sponsor with the offer of a new 2018 Hoyt bow to an adult shooting member. All adults will receive one entry for every sanctioned shoot they attend & shoot, with two entries at Nationals. The winner will be drawn at the annual Presentation following Nationals & will be able to choose their bow from the 2018 Hoyt bow line-up.

At the 2017 Australian Championships adult members will be able to buy one (1) extra ticket per person in the draw for this Hoyt bow for $5.

*Abbey Archery have also confirmed their continued support of our young archers with the promise of two bows - one lucky cub & one lucky youth will again win a new bow, to be presented at the 2017 National Championship Presentation. Every time our cub & youth members shoot, their name is added to the draw. Shooting Nationals will give them two entries with the draw being conducted by random number generator.

*The incentive award for our kids will happen again in 2017. This year the prizes will be a $40 gift voucher that can be redeemed at any of our Australian shop sponsors and a 3DAAA cap. At each sanctioned event a cub & youth will be drawn at random. To be completely fair, this can only be won once by a cub or youth in the shooting year. The winners must be present at the time of presentations to receive the prize.

*3DAAA has once again set up a sponsorship package from archery dealers and some overseas archery manufactures to have their logos on the score sheet for 2017. There will be a 4 level system, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze, due to the monetary value contributed by the sponsor. Part of this sponsorship will help with providing the end of year trophies and pull up banners which will be at all sanctioned shoots. So please help support these sponsors who support 3DAAA.

*Darryl Bulger from Native Hunting Gear will again sponsor the Highest score shot at the 2017 Australian Championships in Hunter Class.

*Not to be left out, clubs will also have an opportunity to win their club a target. The target up for grabs will be a medium sized 3D target. To be able to win this target a club must get 5 or more shooters at a sanctioned shoot and they will get 1 ticket in the end of year draw. The more times your club gets 5 or more shooters at a sanctioned shoot the more chances your club has of winning this target.

Clubs need to ensure that their members write down their club name on the score recording sheet, if a member of more than one club, the archer needs to list the club of their choice.

The 2017 Nationals will not count towards this award.

The target will be awarded at the 2017 end of year presentation.
