European Airsoft Association in 2013

Matt Furey-King som är ordförande i European Airsoft Association har skickat ut ett e-postmeddelande till flera företrädare för airsoften i Europa. Vi har fått tillstånd av Matt att delge er meddelandet. Sveriges representant hos EAA är Sveroks airsoftgrupp, om den finns kvar.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update to tell you where EAA stands. My apologies for not pushing things this year, things got unexpectedly busy for me. Anyway, main thing is we are still here. I’ve got some plans for 2013 and over Christmas break I will be sketching out a progress timetable for 2013. Principally I’m thinking about getting us registered in Brussels as an international association. This will lend us credibility and possibly open the opportunity for EU funding, but its very complicated and will take me some time to read up before I can tell you how we are going to achieve it. Of course, we will need a constitution, which I am working on now.

Very soon I will hold a new logo competition.

Before the end of January I’m going to hold another Skype meeting. There are a few items I wish to put on the table to help us decide the constitution and structure of EAA. After that is settled, we can look towards some projects, doing something proactive. But first, I’m afraid, we have to get bureaucracy sorted out. At the meeting I will fist call another presidential election as I’ve stood for a year now. I hope you will elect me again. We will use Skype again as it is the most convenient method but we will only use text.

What I ask all of you to do is a small, easy task before the end of 2012. Please can all association presidents/chairmen log in to our forum (or send a delegate) and make a thread telling us about your national association and any on going problems or projects in your country. Just email me back with your forum name if you don’t have committee forum access. It will also help me know you are still interested, have forum access and I have the right contact details for you. I would like to get lots of interest in this quick and easy task which will indicate bright prospects for the whole European airsoft association project.

Here is where I ask you to put your thread http://www.europeanairsoftassociation.eu/en/forum/64-national-discussion.html
Please check in every few weeks to discuss and get updates.

Hope to hear from you soon and have a great Christmas.

Regards,
Matt Furey-King
