This has been T4 etc. week and I'm glad this sort of stuff only has to be done once each year (PHEW!!!) / Malheureusement, toute cette semaine, j'ai travaille pour les trois gouvernements: Quebec, l'Ontario et le niveau federal. Heureusement, il y a une fois par annee!!!!

1. Invitation

FCA has received a formal invitation via the NAA to our archers wishing to shoot Atlantic City Classic. The dates are April 30-May 2, 1999 at the Atlantic City new Convention Centre.

2. Schedule

There appears to be some confusion in BC about tournament dates. I am printing the information as I received them from the letters sent by Arrowsmith and Burnaby clubs.

April 10-11 double FITA Star Parksville range

May 22 FITA Star Canada Cup Burnaby

June 13 900 Round BC Games trials Burnaby

July 18 900 Round Burnaby

Aug 21 1200 Round PNAA Burnaby

I hope this clears up any problems.

4. Championships Format/les championnats cible fixe

There have been some very good points raised in the e-mail discussion over the nationals. In particular, Marthe Cusson has made some very positive suggestions. It's really good to see the amount of thought, time and effort people are putting into the topic. If you wish to participate, contact Bruce Savage, Adhoc Committee Chairman at:

Depuis deux semaine je recois les e-mails concernants notre championnat exterieur. Plusieurs de benevoles ont donne leurs opinions. Felicitations a Marthe Cusson pour ses suggestions positives. Si vous voulez donner avis a ce comite ad hoc, ecrivez a Bruce Savage, le president de comite.

5. Memberships

Next week I'll be working with Oliver and the provincial membership chairs to get everything up to speed. Please encourage your fellow club members to join your provincial organization and the FCA. Together we're stronger.

La semaine prochaine, je travaillerai au programme inscription (? Alain did I say that properly). J'espere que chaque membre de la FCA encouragaient les autres archers d'inscrire au club et a l'association provinciale. Ensemble, nous serons plus forte.
