Welcome to the Website of Archery New Zealand Inc

Archery New Zealand is an Incorporated Society and is the governing body of Target Archery in New Zealand. It is affiliated to FITA (Federation Internationale de Tir a l'Arc), Oceania Archery Association and the New Zealand Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association. Archery New Zealand holds annual National Championships for Target, Field, Clout and Indoor Archery and has also hosted the Oceania Regional Championships.

AFFILIATION FEES 2010/2011

Dear Colleagues

At its meeting on Saturday/Sunday 14/15 August 2010, the usual careful consideration was given to the finances of Archery New Zealand.

 

This year and last have been particularly expensive years, largely because of the success of our compound archers and the need to upgrade the equipment for the National Outdoor Championships. The Danage butts were purchased for the 2010 Nationals.

 

While SPARC provided $100,000 towards the Commonwealth Games preparation of the women’s and men’s compound teams, there have been additional expenses not covered by that grant.

 

For example we have to provide the shooting uniform for the Commonwealth Games team. The current shooting uniform is a bit old and tired and not appropriate for a hugely important event like the Commonwealth Games. After the Games ANZ will have a new and very smart, well designed and made shooting uniform.

 

While the Board has sought and continues to seek funding for the uniform and butts for example, it has not been successful so far.

Consequently the budget is very tight.

 

The Constitution says that that the affiliation fees will be set at the AGM but in January we had no idea that on 1 October 2010 there would be a 2.5% increase in GST and a hike in the cost of postage.

 

Although we are talking approximately 300-500 dollars difference in the budget it is not an amount that ANZ can reasonably absorb.

 

Therefore the Board resolved to add a further 2.5% to the cost of affiliation and the Archer to cover GST and a further small amount to the Archer subscription to cover the cost of increase postage.

 

The Board therefore requests members’ co-operation in paying the new fees set out below, effective from the start of the new season, 1 October 2010.

 

We apologise to clubs that have already set their fees to include affiliation and hope this will not incur too many problems for you. The renewal forms will reflect the new fees as will the affiliation form on the web site.

Kind regards

Carole A Hicks

National Secretary

Greetings people

As noted in the June 2009, News from the Secretary, the Board spent a day with an independent professional facilitator to work through the theory and practice of governance, management and strategic planning.

One of the outcomes of that working session is the review about which there have been several notices, including one this weekend.

Over the last few months the Board has been working on the ideas and possible material for the draft strategic plan and its accompanying operational plans.

Today there was a highly successful day working again with our expert facilitator.

Board members will spend the next few weeks pulling together the concepts discussed so that a draft strategic plan can be sent to all clubs and posted on the web site at the end of September 2010.

Everyone is encouraged to read the draft strategic plan, discuss it and respond to the Board via the National Secretary.

All these comments will be reviewed by the Board and the strategic plan amended accordingly.

The final draft will be circulated in November so everyone will have the opportunity to comment at or before the AGM in January. More details will be given closer to the time. The draft operation plans will also be circulated and then discussed at the respective Commission AGMs.

This is an exciting time for archery in New Zealand and we look forward to hearing from you all.

Kind regards
Carole

 

Survey

There have been some interesting results from the survey of archers. It seems a significant number of people went to the site, looked at the questions and went away to think about some responses. When they tried to enter again they were denied access to prevent multiple responses from the same individual.

However since there have been so many attempts to complete the survey from those who just looked first time, the survey will remain open until 30 August.

There will be a draft report posted on the web site during September for people to comment on. A “final draft” will be presented to the Board and the report will be circulated for discussion at the AGM in January 2011.
