Dear Archery family,

This has relevance to the announcement of the government that the Archery Association of India (AAI) has been de-recognized.

While we all know that it is a political game and a reckless arm twisting tactic of the government that will soon be sorted out by our capable leaders at AAI.

The 33rd Senior Recurve, Compound and Para Archery Championships scheduled from 26th to 31st December, 2012 to be conducted at Anna University Sports Grounds, Chennai, will go on as announced, flawlessly!.

As the organizers of the event, we will take extra efforts to make you comfortable and make sure any unfortunate decisions by the government will only strengthen our resolve to conduct the event in a grand manner.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF ARCHERY WILL GET STRONGER WITH EACH HURDLE WE CROSS AND SHALL MAKE US MORE CLOSE-KNIT AS A SPORTING FAMILY.

See you all at Chennai!

Yours truly,
HU Hussaini

Every body who comes to a Nationals want to go back with a medal. And our first promise to you is "NO ONE WILL GO BACK EMPTY HANDED".

For those who do not win medals you will go back with a "souvenir" you will most cherish.
