Becoming a member
Archery GB has published a set of ‘Codes of Conduct‘ applicable to Members; Adult Archers; Junior Archers; Coaches and officials; and, Spectators, Parents and Carers. We expect everyone to comply at all times.
We recruit new members in one of the following ways:
- Introduction to Archery courses: where those new to archery will receive expert instruction and a general introduction to the modern sport of Archery. Courses are normally run twice a year (spring and autumn), conducted by our qualified coaches with use of our stock of high quality bows and accessories. Upon completion of the course, the trainee will receive a certificate confirming they have completed a course conducted under Archery GB guidelines and may join the Club.
To reserve a place on our Introduction to Archery course, please contact us. - If applicants have formerly practised archery to an acceptable level (preferably as a member of an Archery GB affiliated club) they have the opportunity of joining. They may be subject to a trial shoot where their abilities and awareness of safety rules will be assessed by 1 of our coaches.
Note: Junior members over the age of 11 years are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult if under 16 years.
Annual subscriptions
The Club membership year runs from July to June and the Affiliations (county, regional and national) year runs from October to September. Discounts are given for both – dependant on when you join and also as described below. Subs can be paid by BACS, cheque or cash. The subscriptions for the forthcoming year are agreed at the AGM.
