The archery club Les Archers du bois des vallées has appointed Christian Bussy as its new president following a recent general assembly.
The leadership change comes as the club, based in Bouloire, prepares for potential high-profile national competition in 2027, maville.com – Le Mans reported.
Bussy takes over the leadership role from Pascal Verron, who decided to step back from the presidency but will remain active within the club as a member. The organization currently counts 50 members among its ranks.
Maintaining leadership continuity
Pascal Beauté has been reappointed as vice-president, and Kevin Mouillier continues in his existing functions. Jean Yves Gassot remains with the club in his capacity as an educator.
Administrative responsibilities have been reassigned, with Nathalie Braga taking over as treasurer. Aurore Ramirez has been named secretary, supported in those duties by Michel Martinache.
Preparing for a 2027 national bid
“I wanted to unite all our members, because a big deadline awaits us in 2027,” Bussy told maville.com – Le Mans.
The club has submitted a bid to the French Archery Federation to host the national “nature” archery championship. The event, which would take place over three days from May 21 to May 23, 2027, involves a course of 21 targets set in wooded terrain. The club expects a decision on its application by mid-November.
If the bid is successful, the event is projected to draw 750 participants and more than 1,500 visitors to the area, according to Bussy.
