MEMBERSHIP

Becoming a Member

You must have completed a recognised beginners course before you can join the club. We run beginners courses twice a year, if you are interested in taking up archery please see the Beginner's Course page.

We have several categories of membership:

Standard membership (senior & junior):- Full shooting members of the club (may opt for unlimited shooting or 25-shoot membership).
Associate membership (senior & junior):- Full shooting members of the club, but having paid membership of archery organisations such as Archery GB (AGB), NFAS or BLBS so not required to pay the insurance component of the club fee, though you will still be covered by the club insurance (may opt for unlimited shooting or 25-shoot membership).
Social membership:- non-shooting with no fee - you do not need to complete a beginners' course but you should abide by the clubs safety rules.

Membership renewal due on 1st April each year.
