BFTA GM
Posted: Mon May 31, 2021 1:35 pm
Good afternoon all,
Jason kindly sent me the last of the correspondence from the BFTA that he received recently. The contents of which are the General Meeting Agenda for the 3rd July.
There isn’t really much for clubs to vote on but a couple of points which club reps should discuss with their respective clubs are:
1. Showdown 2021
After much consideration and a suggestion by Shaun Shore who would have been running the showdown weekend. The qualification processes this year is going to be near on impossible and unfair. Therefore, a proposal has been formed regarding the showdown event from the MFTA and has the backing of secretary and the chairman
Proposal: Substitute the Showdown with a 2x30 target event To mirror the format of the Masters (same entry fee as Masters) with prizes/trophies as deemed fit by the BFTA (an award could be made for the top scores over the weekend).
If the above proposal isn’t accepted, please put forward ideas for alternative ways of conducting the showdown event.
2. BFTA Euros 2021
Due to the cancellation of the Weston Park event, the BFTA is considering alternative venues. If any club in the region feels they could host this two day event then let your club rep know. Wales have offered to host at Nelson.
3. NiFTA
NiFTA have asked to be affiliated with the BFTA – This is to be discussed at the GM.
4. SEFTA GP hosts 2022
(if we ever get COVID free), we know Kent can’t so if we can find which club is prepared to host we can put this forward at the GM. (also which date said clubs prefer).
Proposed dates:
GP1 17th April (EASTER SUNDAY!!)
GP2 15th May
GP3 29th May
GP4 12th June
GP5 26th June
GP6 10th July
GP7 24th July
GP8 14th August
GP9 28th August
Thanks all,
Nat
