Shindenkan AGMs 2014 – the highlights
On May 9, 2014, the annual general meeting of the Shindenkan Association was held. This national general assembly is the supreme authority of the Shindenkan association.
On the same day, two other local general meetings were held, as there is a special connection to the association's general meeting, since some resolutions at the general meeting of these local associations also had to be informed and possibly adopted at the national general meeting as a proposal.
This was respectively Jokokan Count Strand, internally in the Shindenkan organization called; Honbu competence and development center, as all of Shindenkan's all-important professional main system competence is gathered here with chief instructor Yamana-Itotani Sensei, alias Kimu Sensei at the helm.
The other local association was SDKSkyt, Shindenkan Denmark's shooting association, which was established along the way as a natural extension and support for the internationally recognized and successful Honbu POMW – Project Old Modern Warrior project 2010-2013.
Before these general meetings, a cascade of local member associations' general meetings had been held in the weeks leading up to the national general meeting, so the national general meeting has the latest new knowledge from all the local member associations. In this way, the most effective and optimal democratic decisions can be made on a national level, since all local Jokokan associations that practice Yakami Shinsei-ryu, SDKSkyt that practices POMW shooting and Jokokan Greve Strand, internally in the Shindenkan organization called; Honbu competence and development centre, can contribute, through the local general assembly's decisions and proposals, to the development of the national federation; Shindenkan Denmark. It is truly a democratic process, so everyone is heard and has a chance for this.
Local association, SDKSkyt, Shindenkan Danmarksskytteforening GF2014 – the big moves;
All formalities were observed and the chairman found the general meeting as legally convened and capable of decision. The minutes from GF2013 were approved without comments and unanimously.
The time during POMW 2010-2013 was very hectic and demanding, but from 2014 this has been replaced by normal operation and development with POMW shooting technique to the delight of SDKSkyt's members.
The warm weather in 2013 and other things meant that the indoor season was started late, but ran very satisfactorily with the rotating teams and therefore very efficiently with room for everyone, the elite as the exerciser.
The outdoor season also ran extremely well, and SDKSkyt had an excellent collaboration with the Honbu Competence and Development Center on the execution of POMW III, which created spectacular and confirming results on the POMW shooting technical handbook through the POMW project.
The season's level of activity, measured by the average number of shots per member, is around 2,500 shots. However, this covers an activity from 250 shots up to 45,000 shots per season in the last year of the POMW project 2010-2013. It is expected that the average number of shots per member, will therefore fall. On average, a Danish shooter shoots approx. 240 shots per year cf. 2012 survey, so the average activity level for SDKSkyt members has been more than 10 times higher than the average Danish activity level during the season.
SDKSkyt is a member of; Denmark's Sports Confederation (DIF) through the Danish Sports Shooting Association (DSF) and the Copenhagen Shooting Association (KSF), DGI National Organization through the DGI Shooting Association, and by the Shindenkan association.
