The club has five qualified coaches who run beginners courses during the indoor season (click here for details). There is a cost for the course, for which we supply the equipment, the coaches knowledge, and fun. At the end of the course you can then decide if Archery is a sport for you. Before continuing, hopefully you will join our club, and will be required to pay the appropriate joining fees. |
