The home of Essex and Suffolk County Archery Association for Archery GB registered clubs & promoting archery in Essex and Suffolk.
It will come as no surprise that this years ECAA County Championship has been cancelled.
It has been re-arranged for Sunday 6th June 2021 so keep the date free in the diary.
Many thanks to all the archers that had entered West Essex Bowmen Air Ambulance shoot.
Many of our entries kindly donated all their entry fee to the ambulance, and because of this we are happy to say the we have donated £1644.32 to the ambulance this year.
As always we are over the moon with your generosity.
Thank you all
Stay safe and hope to see you all soon on the shooting line.
Thanks again

Just a reminder to all clubs that Sport England have a fund available to help support clubs who have lost money due to the current situation.
If you should have been running competitions or beginners courses that would have brought in money, you can claim.
At least 2 clubs in the county have already been successful in their claims.

To all Clubs who entered the Summer Albion League:
Sunday, 10th May, should have been the day of the first League match of the 2020 Season. Under the circumstances in which we find ourselves, this League, along with so many other archery events, will not be taking place.
I hope you and your families are all safe and well. Many of you will be in 'lock-down' as, indeed, are Roy and I. Who would have thought it was going to last this long!
To those whose work means you cannot stay safe at home, your commitment is helping to make our isolated lives so much easier and I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Although all sport, holidays, everything that makes us get up in the morning, is on hold, it will get better and I am confident you will all be back as soon as allowed, doing the sport you love.
Please keep safe and, as the Queen and Vera Lynn said, "We Will Meet Again".
Kindest regards
Marlene

Deb (ECAA Secretary) took part in an online meeting today (30/04/2020) with other reps from SCAS and GWAA and some of the staff members from AGB.
The majority of the discussion was around reps asking questions which AGB will need to go away and answer at a later date, but there are a few points which I would like to share with you today.
These include:-
