Coaches/Experienced archers
Within the club we have 5 coaches, the most senior of which is Andy. David, Cathy, Janet and Roger are the other four.
From time to time we also are fortunate enough to have some visiting coaches, a practice we would like to continue. We also
have a number of archery leaders who are also very knowledgable, Steph, Di, Vanessa and Paul.
We are fortunate to have a number of very experienced members who will always be pleased to offer advice. For example
Paul and Mike will offer lots of advice on making longbows, Steve and Andrea are excellent on Recurve bow technical issues
etc.
So if you need any help or advice than ask!
Equipment Loan Scheme
All beginners have free use of equipment during the 6 week programme and for up to 6 months after (Equipment is brought
along by the Club on practice sessions). After that period we do encourage members to buy their own equipment or if available
to loan it from the Club for just £5 per month (members take the equipment home).
Pay for new equipment in installments
We operate a limitted confidential loan programme for Members who would like new equipment but due to domestic circumstances
would find it difficult to pay for it in one go. The Club buys the bow and the member agrees a repayment scheme with the Club.
