Beginners Course
 

Have you been watching the Olympics or seen archery in films or TV shows and thought to yourself “I wouldn’t mind giving that a try?” If you have then why not come and join one of our beginners courses.

All ages, sexes and abilities are encouraged to come and try. Our courses are run in a safe but informal manner with the emphasis on you enjoying this great sport.

All coaching is carried out by our GNAS qualified coaches and their assistants.

Beginners courses will consist of four sessions of approximately two hours duration. The club will provide all the necessary equipment so all you need to bring along is yourself.

Juniors between the ages of eleven to fourteen are required to have a Parent or Guardian present throughout. We regret that the club cannot accommodate juniors under the age of eleven unless their Parent or Guardian is already a full member of the club or is also attending the same course.
Pupils will need to wear tight fitting upper garments, so as not to interfere with the bowstring.

The cost of the beginners course is currently £30.00 plus a refundable deposit for use of a platform tab.

Financially, the best time to become a full member is around May, when the full year’s membership fee is due. If you take a beginners’ course at other times and subsequently join the club, then you would only complete a part year before your next year’s subs are due again in May. Some people are so keen that they choose not to wait and they willingly pay the extra money.

Beginners who join the club are able to continue to use the club equipment until they are ready to purchase their own.

Do not buy equipment until you have some experience and have talked to a qualified club coach or senior club member.

Check out some of the info contained on this site about styles of shooting, bow types, tournaments and some of our archers experiences.
