Scottish Archery hall of famer Moira Taylor has stepped down as Chairperson of the AGB Coach Renewal Panel in Scotland.Â
The role of panel chair involves chairing meetings, processing applications, providing guidance, supporting & mentoring to coaches as well as ensuring coaches meet the licencing standards.
Moira on her decision to leave the panel:
''As you are aware I have been Chair of the Coach Renewal Panel in Scotland for some time. Due to my numerous other commitments in Archery I have decided that I no longer have the time required to devote to this role and I have intimated my decision to retire from the Panel to Scottish Archery.''
Panel member and also Scottish Archery hall of famer Bill Mackay paid thanks to Moira:
''Thank you for all your hard work on the panel. It certainly is not an easy job to do. I do hope you continue your involvement in Archery and of course coaching''
We would like to echo Bill's message and thank you Moira for all your hard work, dedication and commitment to the role and with the panel.  No doubt we will continue to be in touch to get your advice and expertise.
Panel member Duncan McEwan who is currently part of the cohort completing the new ArcheryGB Level 3 Programme Coach course will take up the role as the new Chairperson of the panel.
‘‘I have been involved in the Scottish coach renewal panel for a short while now and was very happy to step up when Moira announced that she was retiring as chair after several dedicated years.Â
I am always looking for ways to help improve archery in Scotland and feel that being chair of the Scottish coach renewal panel will serve our coaches who work hard to improve themselves and wish to renew their licenses.
Going forward, we would like to review current policies to make sure that they are the best fit for the current climate - this would include changing policies for the essential Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport (CWPS) course, which now has a ‘renewal’ option, rather than having coaches pay and undertake a completely new CWPS course each time.’’
We look forward to working with you Duncan to continue on from all the work and progress that Moira has made during her tenure!
