Welsh Field Archery Association  The Welsh Field Archery Association (WFAA) is the governing body of field archery in Wales. The WFAA is affiliated to the world governing body, the International Field Archery Association (IFAA). which is a member of the leading World Sport for all association TAFISA. The WFAA manages all aspects of the sport in Wales, including governance, national teams, organisation and administration of national and international tournaments. The WFAA was founded in 1970 after the "British Field Archery Association" merged with the "English Field Archery Association" to form the EFAA. The merger of the BFAA and EFAA was designed to bring the sport under a single governing body but in the event, this did not suit the majority of the membership. In 1967, the Scottish members broke away and formed the "Scottish Field Archery Association". This development precipitated a meeting of the "Welsh Company of Archers" which was held at Glyncornel Centre, Rhondda in December 1969 where it was decided to form the "Welsh Field Archery Association" (WFAA) as the governing body of the sport of field archery in Wales. This development spelt the birth of the WFAA of today and also of the now well known format in the UK whereby each of the Home Nations has its own governing body. This format also means that Great Britain is not represented in the IFAA code of field archery at international level. The WFAA is headed by its President who chairs the WFAA General Committee. This Committee bears overall responsibility for the running of the Association and consists of administrators who manage record keeping, communication, finances, tournament management, coaching activities, and team selection. Each member club has a representative on the General Committee. The Committee also has an IFAA Delegate who represents Wales' interests with the IFAA and who attends the bi-annual IFAA World Council Meeting. In addition, there are two sub-committees: The Welsh Squad and Team Selection Panel (who are tasked with team and squad selection), and the Coaching Committee, which is headed by the National Coach (who are responsible for the management of training and development of coaches). Day-to-day running of archery activities is managed by the WFAA's network of clubs who manage training for archers from beginner level upwards, classification shoots, and regional level tournaments. National and international tournaments are usually hosted by member clubs but managed directly by the WFAA General Committee.
