The Archery NZ Board have number of roles and events that we are seeking registrations of interest from members in order to ensure that we have a successful season of outdoor archery ahead.

Trans Tasman 2019

Plans are now underway for the organisation of the Trans Tasman event to be held in NZ in 2019.  An application for funding from the World Masters Games fund has been made, and if successful, will mean that the event needs to be held in Auckland.

We are now looking for Registrations of Interest for the following:

• Team Manager
• Assistant Team Manager
• Team Coach(s)

The Archery NZ Board are intending to take the lead on the organisation of this event, but would like to have a team of volunteers to assist with the set up and pack down, along with running of the event during the week.  Please register your interest in being involved by contacting Robyn Denton, National Secretary via an email to [email protected]. 

Youth Commission Convenor

We have recently accepted the resignation of Maria Tucker from the role as Youth Commission Convenor.  While Maria is going to continue to run the postal shoots, we do need someone to step into this role to help represent our youth archers at the Board level, and to establish a Secondary Schools Archery competition for 2019.

A copy of the position description and registration of interest form can be found on the website.

Please register your interest in becoming the Youth Commission Convenor as soon as possible but by 18 August 2018 at the latest with the National Secretary so that an appointment can be made by the Board.   This appointment will be through until the Youth Commission AGM which will be held at the Outdoor Target Nationals in January 2019.

Call for Hosts for Selection Events

Building upon the selection process used for the 2018 shooting season, we will be running a similar process again for the 2019 season.

We need to have host clubs for the following events:

• Youth World Championships and Trans-Tasman – youth event to be held in November/December 2018
• World Cup Series and World Championships – event to be held in February/March 2019.

The events will need to be held over a weekend and include the following events:

• Two 72 arrow round(s)
• Round robin match play

The field for the senior event will need to accommodate at least 32 archer (event can be shot in details).  The Youth event will need to be able to cope with more archers as it is likely that there will be more divisions competing at event.

Clubs interested in hosting either of these events should register their interest by 18 August 2018 by emailing the National Secretary [email protected]

 Team Officials for 2019 International Events

Archery NZ are now urgently seeking registrations of interest from those who are keen on being team officials to accompany archers to any of the following 2019 events:

Please Note: Archery NZ Policy requires that Juniors (ie archers under the age of 20 years) must have a team official accompany them in order to travel & compete.

The Archery NZ Board is keen to hear from anyone who may be interested or wants to know more.

A Team Officials Application Form and Team Agreement and Code of Conduct will need to be completed prior to consideration being given for selection and these need to be completed by the closing dates shown in the table above for the event for which you wish to attend. 

 Both documents are available on the Archery NZ Website via the following link: https://www.archerynz.co.nz/athletes/selection-policies/

All prospective Team Officials are required to undergo Police Vetting as per the Member Protection Policy.

Please contact Robyn Denton, National Secretary with any queries &/or completed paperwork.
