GAA Affiliation fee information
Archery clubs within the historic county boundary of Glamorgan are required to affiliate to Glamorgan Archery Association and the Welsh Archery Association.
To affiliate to the County Association, clubs will pay a block affiliation fee for each member of the club as at 30th September each year. (As recorded on ArcheryGB's 'Sport80' system).
The current GAA fee has been reduced from £3.50 to £2.00 per member
The one off block club affiliation fee will cover all of your members' affiliation to Glamorgan Archery Association for the following archery year running from October 1st to September 30th.
*** GAA CLUB AFFILIATION FEES WILL BE DUE ON OCTOBER 1st EVERY YEAR -
Direct members of ArcheryGB, please use the form at the bottom of this page. ARCHERYGB DIRECT MEMBERS MUST PAY THEIR GAA AFFILIATION FEES TO CLAIM GLAMORGAN RECORDS, SHOOT AT COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS AS A MEMBER AND BE PART OF THE COUNTY TEAM.
Important information from the treasurer:
Electronic bank transfers would be appreciated wherever possible.
If sending affiliation cheques to the Glamorgan Treasurer Please ensure you do NOT use initials for 'Glamorgan Archery Association' & 'Welsh Archery Association' , write them out in full.
Banks are returning any cheques with 'GAA' or 'WAA' on them. This delays your affiliation and creates extra work for the Treasurer !!.
Thanks

October is Cybersecurity Awareness month which is a global campaign to raise awareness of online safety and encourage good practices to help protect businesses and individuals from cybercrime. As attacks become more sophisticated we must increase our levels of understanding to better mitigate against them.
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre has produced some excellent resources for individuals (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/home) and for clubs and charities (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/home). Cyber Essentials (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview) is a UK Government backed scheme to help protect organisations against common cyber attacks.
Cyber security will become increasingly relevant to all of us.

BE AWARE OF EMAIL SCAMS --ESPECIALLY CLUB TREASURERS.
- Check the email of the person - Is it the one you've used in the past ?
- Is the request out of character for the person ?
- Does your committee agree large purchases beforehand and have them noted in the minutes ?
