UK and I of I Championships 2009
The UK and I of I Championships will now be hosted by the EFAA at Kings Forest Bowmen in Suffolk on the 4th and 5th July 2009.
Kings Forest now have their 3rd course back in place after thinning work so there will be plenty of space at the Uk Champs with three courses available.
New camp sites available approx 15 mins from course.
As some of you will have heard or read on this website, the SFAA will not be hosting the 2009 UK and I of I Championships at the home of Drum Archers as previously advertised. After much correspondence and discussion between the home nations we can now provide you with the background to this change being made.
Discussions between the IFAF, WFAA, EFAA and SFAA failed to reach agreement on the provisions for professional archers competing in this tournament. Eventually, a vote was taken whereby the WFAA, IFAF and EFAA voted in favour of including the professional archers in the equivalent amateur divisions (as per Article 15 of the IFAA Rulebook). SFAA voted against this proposal and subsequently refused to recognise the outcome. Due to this situation a second proposal was raised to remove the hosting in 2009 from SFAA and re tender amongst the three other home nations. The vote carried and EFAA won the right to host the tournament.
Thankfully, Kings Forest Bowmen have stepped into the breach and details of the tournament can be found on this website.
Early indications are that the tournament will be well supported, please book early.
EFAA Committee
Message from EFAC09 Organisers
Dear IFAA Delegates of Europe,
I am writing to inform you that we have closed registration for EFAC 2009 because we have reached the maximum number of entries. Please can advise your members of this.
We have opened a reserve list upon which archers may list themselves in the event that any registered archers withdraw from the tournament. In such cases we would work down the reserve list on a first come first served basis. If any of your members wish to go on the reserve list, please can you advise them to complete an entry form and send it to us but please tell them not to send a payment. In the event that a place becomes available, we would invoice the archer at that time.
Please also be aware that the entry list on the EFAC 2009 website is about a week behind in updating. Therefore, if any of your members have registered before the 24th April, them we have them on the list even if their names have not yet appeared on the entry list on the EFAC website.
On behalf of the WFAA General Committee we would like to thank you all for helping us to market and fill the tournament.
We look forward to welcoming you to Wales in July!
