Equipment Theft

Alex Kerby has reported that he returned from Canada yesterday to find that on the weekend of 4/5 of June the metal container belonging to Coastal Archers on Red Road playing field at Berrow had been broken into and the following items stolen. This was a planned attack as the perpetrators came armed with acetylene cutters to burn off the locks.

Items stolen were:

2 metal handled W&W takedown bows complete with string,sights and limbs,handles one red one white.
5 brownish yellow fibreglass beginners bows with strings,some with sights.
1 wooden takedown bow with string and sight,(make unknown)
1 Martin Compound Bow, colour black.
A wooden arrow rack (Made by Alex) containing many practice and beginners arrows,number unknown but possibly around 60-70 of various makes.
1 Metal Detector,made by Rimatron,model Viking 1.

The burglars obviously knew what thay wanted and came armed to get it, as several other valuable items were untouched. Other clubs should be vigilant and also be aware that metal shipping containers are not secure under this type of attack..

SCAA AGM Proposals

Please take note of two important proposals being taken to the SCAA AGM in February, as these have implications for all archers in the county:

That the constitution be changed to allow only two council meetings per year, the first to be in the Spring and held concurrent with the AGM. The second to be held in the Autumn.
That the constitution be changed so that any elected officer of the council may only serve in the elected position for a maximum of three years and that they may not fill the same position again for a further three years.

The January meeting minutes add a note to item 2 in that should any two of the 'prime' positions (chairman, secretary and treasurer) are not filled in a given year then the society would be wound up as stated in the constitution. Therefore it is important that all SCAA archers are aware of these proposals and have the opportunity to be represented at the forthcoming AGM.
