Annual General Meeting 11th February 20012000 KGB President's ReportThe year 2000 proved another good year for the KGB, especially with the extra interest in the sport generated by the Olympics. The club members have been bolstered through the large beginner classes and there have generally been more archers on the shooting line every Sunday. From Juniors to Seniors and even Veterans our club has been well represented at almost every tournament. We always figured prominently in the placings. We are gradually phasing out our cardboard targets with foam, which are lighter, cheaper and easier to maintain. We also recently purchased a sunshade that should allow for shooting in the rain under shelter using the foam targets! With our recent good showing at the Warringah Open Tournament I look forward to another good year and wish everyone the best of luck. 
2000 KGB Treasurer's ReportTreasurer's report not disclosed here. 2000 KGB Recorder's ReportThe following is a summary of the report. The most improved new member has been Peter Tait, compound shooter, who put in his first score in April and by the end of the year had worked is way up to an 80 rating. How many of us made a start like that in only 8 months? The best performing member was Nick Horley, reaching his 100 rating in March, gaining his Master Bowman classification in June and putting in 42 score sheets, more than anyone else. A total of 62 new club records were achieved this year, with 37 of them going to Andrew Chessher (19) and Greg Pagano (18). Roger K. also got a minor state record (842, Perth). An interclub shoot was held at Erina in 2000. The handicap result was a tied score between Andrew Chessher and Sue Henthorn, with Sue winning the event in a countback. Sue, David and D.B. had to return to W.A. during the year. Greg and Bob Pagano have also had to go back to the USA, where they will hopefully continue shooting once they have settled down. On page seven I have included a list of ratings and records Roger presented at the AGM.
John Ferris Memorial TrophyPeter Chessher was awarded the John Ferris Memorial Trophy as Club Member of the Year in acknowedgement of Peter's work for the club particularly in the area of development and production of new targets.

In a search for information about archery, a good place to start looking is on the Internet. A search for archery using google.com produced 850 relevant hits. A lot of junk is out there, but these are some of the better sites that caught our attention. Some of the commercial sites feature equipment that we can only dream about buying in Sydney, but at least it gives you an idea of what is available when you have to look further afield for buying equipment.
FITA - www.fita.org
The official FITA site. Includes some very intense coaching advice,
obviously aimed at the serious Olympic and international level, but
contains information that all of us could use.
Archer 30s Archery Pages - members.theglobe.com/archer_30/Archery.html
A good site for novice archers. Topics include serving strings, tuning
compound bows and sighting.
The Bowman's Archery Solutions - www.thebowman.com
An excellent site for all areas of archery. Includes extensive technical
guides for all aspects of tuning and maintaining your bow. Probably
the best site for looking up the technical points of archery (mind you,
Roger K. still knows more!).
National Archery Association - www.usarchery.org
The official site of the National Archery Association in the US. A section
of particular interest is the History section, which has a interesting
and concise history of archery. Proudly proclaims Vic Wunderle as winner
of the silver medal at the Olympics (with just a small mention of our
Simon)
Link doesn't work!!! - users.ozlinx.com.au/~tomw
The personal home page of Tom Woodley of Ipswich, Queensland. The page
has not changed in some time but for those who have not looked at it,
it is well worth a visit. Some well thought-out and well presented observations.
Centenary Archers Club - www.centenaryarchers.gil.com.au
The site of Centenary Archers in Queensland. An excellent list of general
topics, including rounds of archery, rules, basic equipment, shooting
form and much more. Also includes a good list of links.
Ed's Archery Pages - edd.alaska.net
While generally written and presented for hunters, there is much technical
information of value to target archers.
Martin's Archery Page - free.prohosting.com/~mfoster/archery/archery.html
Easier to get to this site by using your search engine to look for "martin's
archery page". Sound but basic information on many aspects of archery.
Sagittarius Twente, University Archery Club - www.student.utwente.nl/campus/sagi
The best part about this site is the list of excuses (never mind the
bad spelling, it's just about net standard!). The one that caught my
eye was "My brain got in the way!" Funnily enough, I started fitting
people in the club to some of the excuses. The section on Selected Archery
Articles has some interesting background reading on the history of archery.
Mind Tools - www.mindtools.com
Not an archery site as such, but an extensive site devoted to sports
psychology. If you are going to print out all the articles, beware -
be sure to have enough paper and ink or toner - this baby's long!
If anyone else sees a good archery site around, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll include it in the next newsletter.

"Remember that if you want your scores recorded and any records claimed on your behalf you need THREE archers shooting the round at the same time. Scoresheets must be signed by yourself and two witnesses and use full name and name of round on the scoresheets. Only rounds shot as per the calander can be claimed. If records are being claimed and scoresheets are not filled in correctly I will not be chasing you the next week to make corrections." Roger Klooster, AGM Recorder's Report.
