The Chairman is Keith Stay, keith@keithstay.freeserve.co.uk

Is not perturbed by the feeling of wet soggy underclothes, outer garments, socks and footwear.
Is prepared to shoot wet arrows and enjoys the sight and feeling of the spray flying as the arrow is shot from the bow.
Is prepared to educate, coach and otherwise train and support members of FWAS http://www.fwas.co.uk so that they may come to enjoy the skills and experiences of being an AWAS member.
If you have one or more of these attributes then this is the society for you.
