Latest News:
UK & I of I Championships 2009
We regret to inform our members that due to issues relating to the shooting divisions by which the UK & Isle of Ireland Championships shall be shot, the hosting of the 2009 tournament has been switched from Scotland to England. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place at Drum Archers' course near Edinburgh. However, after disagreements over the shooting divisions of the tournament between the governing bodies, the decision was taken to re-open the tournament to tender. The EFAA subsequently won that tender and the tournament will be hosted by Kings Forest Bowmen at their course in Wordwell, Suffolk. The tournament will take place on the original scheduled dates of 4th and 5th July. Early indications are that the tournament will be fully subscribed, so we advise you to get your entries in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Welsh Team Captains for EFAC 2009
We are required by the IFAA to nominate a team captain for each international tournament. As we are hosting EFAC this year and will be very busy, we have also named a vice-captain as follows:
Team Captain: Mathew
Symmonds
Vice Captain: Colin Ketley
For those of you who will be competing in EFAC 2009, if you have any concerns during the tournament, your queries/concerns should be directed to either the team captain or the vice captain.

WFAA Does Well at EFAA Open Spring Shoot
A small Welsh contingent made the journey to March Hare Archers' course in Throckmorton, near Worcester for the EFAA Open Spring Championships. This year's tournament took place on the 2nd and 3rd of May and it was fully open for the first time.
Nigel Kent (AMBU) and Josh Davies (AMFU) took full advantage and put in excellent performances to win their divisions. Mat Symmonds (AMFSR) faired less well, finishing in 7th position.

Star Welsh Singer to Perform at EFAC
Up and coming Welsh singer and pianist Katie Salt has agreed to perform at the awards ceremony and banquet of the IFAA European Field Archery Championships. Katie is already well known in south Wales, having reached the final of ITV talent show Stars in their Eyes some years ago.
The awards and banquet ceremony will be held at Abergavenny Leisure Centre on Saturday 1st August.
Welsh and Open Championships 2009
The Welsh and Open Field Archery Championships 2009 was hosted by Dinefwr Archers at their course in Llanwrda, near Llandeilo on the 18th and 19th of April. The weather was glorious and the setting exquisite. Dinefwr Archers' newly re-laid course proved extremely difficult and many archers recorded lower than expected scores as a result.
The WFAA General Committee would like to thank Dinefwr Archers for hosting one of the best tournaments for many years. The catering and tournament organisation was excellent and we look forward to the next shoot at Llanwrda!

The Fonmon Spring Shoot will took place on Sunday 31st May in perfect shooting conditions. This made for high scores in some groups. The challenging Fonmon course kept everyone on their toes, making for an interesting day's shooting. There were also a number of juniors from Llantwit Major Archers making their first appearance at a regional shoot.
The WFAA wishes to thank Llantwit Major Archers for their hard work in preparing the course and for administrating the shoot.
