Society Of Archer-Antiquaries

Those planning to attend the meeting on August 7th and who wish to join in the shooting are asked to inform the new Hon Sec in writing in plenty of time so that suitable arrangements may be made - including the all important insurance Please also state what type of bow you will be using.

There will soon be a number of forum members who will no longer be able to post, and whose names will disappear from the list of forum members.

Sadly they have not renewed their SAA membership and are therefore not eligible to use the forum.

We are sorry to see them go.

Dear members, for those of you who use PayPal in order to send your subscription, may I request that you do two things: Please make the payment in GBP (£ sterling) and also tick the appropriate box to designate the transaction either as "Personal Payment Owed" or I think in some countries ...

Those who knew him or knew of him will be saddened to learn that the remarkable Dr Alf Webb has died. An obit will appear in the next Arrowhead

I am most unhappy to report that a stalwart of the Society has died unexpectedly. Bob Brown was the Editor of Arrowhead - but also much more. He was a regular attendee at meetings, providing welcome suggestions and sensible advice. He always shot at the annual bow meeting and almost always won an aw...

Thank you - just an update to the latest version. The downside is that I have to learn to work a whole new set of admin actions - and they are much more complicated than the earlier version. You will have to bear with me if there are delays or errors.

It would be really great if more SAA members were to attend this - but there is nothing to say how to register...there is no address or even an e-mail. Do they have a website ? Regretfully, this information is too late to go in Arrowhead, as this has just been posted to members. The next Arrowhead w...

Dear Members, This is a reminder that fees are due each year on 1st January . Also, that, due to much increased postal costs to overseas members, the fee for those outside Europe is now £25 If you have a country representative, please make sure your fees go to him or her promptly, so that they can b...

Just a very quick response to John and Jan until I have had time to consider a more detailed reply Potential members may be directed to the website which should give them a reasonable overview of activites, benefits and sample article titles. One of the benefits to all members - and particularly tho...

The Society is losing money year on year, and one way to improve the situation is to get more members.

What do YOU think would persuade someone to join up ?

Your answers would be most helpful

Bede - your post is most interesting and mirrors what I feel. May I have your permission to read it out at the August Meeting ? I too have been feeling that there is much of academic interest here and have made enquiries of someone who is experienced in on-line forums (fora !) to see if it might be ...

Bede - we have to thank you most sincerely for such an extensive eulogy. As far as I know, news of Dr Graysons's demise has not yet reached officers of the SAA. Sadly the Arrowhead has just been posted so the news will have to wait until the next one. I will make sure that key people in the SAA are ...

Jan - It may be that it outstayed its time without anyone posting a reply. I have set quite a long timing (around a year) but if no-one posts to a topic it does go eventually. - Sorry
