According to AUK, the information is on the web site! The only mention of it is in the JAWS booklet, but no details!

Yup - that's my fault - protracted negotiations about bits and bobs. Bear with us

I don't know why everyone's so surprised... isn't it obvious by now that GNAS doesn't DO joined up thinking as a rule? (nor is it particularly good at most forms of communication as a whole)

I did know these "satellite" sites existed and have raised my concerns about them not being connected in any way to the GNAS site.

We do have a separate coaching site in Scotland (at this time - this will change over the winter), but at least we work together as far as we can.

It ain't rocket science.

Because, if they are not, then we will simply propagate more splinter sites like these. Eh, MK1?

Also it is not cost effective. For each unique URL GNAS (i.e. us) has to pay fees to cover URL registration and webhosting fees.

Again this is another case of members seeing cliques being set up, and rightly or wrongly, think people are trying to hide things from them. I am sure this is not the case, but why is it there are so many sites that normal members just can't get to?

It would be great to be able to getting onto the judging site to ask judges if particular things are OK to do. Most judges are pretty busy on tournament days which is about the only other time I ever see a judge. You never know a member might want to ask how to become a judge!

Similarly with the coaching site. We wouldn't mind being able to see the thought process behind current coaching methods. Do not forget a lot of archers on here comment about how they do not have access to coaches. By having a secret squirrel site this just makes it "look like" the coaches don't want to have anything to do with archers either.

I am not having a go at judges or coaches, or I'll never get another line cutter decision or help to improve again. But when these specialist user groups are set up I think the overall membership that helps fund it should be allowed access to it as well. Even if they cannot contribute.

True, but if they brought the gnasjudging website into the archerygb website, an "ask a judge" page/forum would be a great addition. Andrew has clearly highlighted a potential.
