Experienced archers should contact the Club Secretary for further information. Beginners looking to take up the sport will need to attend the introductory course. Please view the Advice for Beginners for further information.

The courses are run on Saturday mornings (10.00 - 12.00hrs), but as we currently have a waiting list it is essential to contact us to agree a convenient start date.

The course comprises of six lessons at a cost of £40 (payable in advance) and includes insurance cover and the hire of equipment.

What about Juniors?

We encourage juniors (under 18yrs) and have currently over thirty active juniors in the club. Please note that Insurance regulations require all juniors must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

If you require further information please contact our qualified GNAS Beginners Coaching Officer.

Archery as an art is more like music than anything else. At first you blunder horridly with the keys of a piano; but at length you can dash through a waltz at a gallop. So when you begin long range shooting you may not score 150 at the Double York Round; but the time soon comes when you easily count off 500 or 600. Intelligent training is everything. The race is to the diligent. Patience and intelligent labor form the royal road to success."
