Beginners Course

 

Our next Beginners Course will commence on Tuesday 2nd September 2024 for 5 weeks, and other beginners courses may be available depending on numbers. On successfully completing the course participants will be awarded a certificate of training which is recognised by Archery GB clubs. We are able to offer club membership to a limited number of participants, however we regret we cannot guarantee everyone a place. Our club welcomes new members over 12 years of age, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and we advise that they first try a taster session before doing a beginners course.

 

Please contact us on wabeginners@gmail.com or telephone John on 01922 453 652 for more information. If you have sent an email but not received a response within seven days, please contact John by telephone.
