Great to be back!

We had our first club session back yesterday, since the restrictions on outdoors sports were lifted a week ago.

The weather was fantastic for it, as members shot on our new temporary field location at Dadford Road Campsite.

The resumption of archery also includes beginners courses and taster sessions, so we are now in the process of organising dates and contacting everyone who has already expressed interest.

Anyone interested in doing a beginners course with us, please get in touch via the short online form: https://towcesterarchers.co.uk/beginners-courses/. Or, send us an email: info@towcesterarchers.co.uk

April return to shooting!

Following the good news that outdoor sports can resume from 29th March, the committee has met to discuss initial steps to get the club shooting once again.

Because the beginning of April see’s the start of the outdoor season, we will be returning to Dadford Road Campsite near Silverstone Circuit, and aim to be shooting from Sunday 4th April.

Further info will follow over the next few weeks as Archery GB release updated guidance information for clubs and archers, including details about when we might be able to resume beginners courses and taster sessions,

If anyone has any questions please get in touch.

Memberships & Indoor Season Update…

We’re very pleased to confirm that from Sunday 4th October, the club will commence indoor shooting at TCL (Towcester Centre for Leisure) from 2pm til 5pm in the main sports hall.

We are hopeful that a midweek session will also be available to us, which we will confirm as soon as we can.

Membership application forms are available for anyone wishing to renew or join the club from the start of October. The club now has equipment available to hire for a small weekly fee, for those who have done a beginners course but don’t yet have their own kit.

For information about memberships, including fee’s and to request a membership form, please email memberships@towcesterarchers.co.uk

August Start!

Good news, the club will start shooting first week of August!

Since our last update, we’ve made the decision to find a temporary location away from Towcestrians, to get the club started during this current outdoor season. We have now found a location at Dadford Road Campsite, near to Silverstone Circuit. We can use this venue for as long as we need to, going into next spring/summer if need be. This gives us a great chance to get the club up and running and somewhat established before the time comes for us to move across to Tows once the ground works there are complete.

If the club equipment that we have ordered arrives in time, fingers crossed the first session will be this coming Sunday 2nd August from 10am. If the targets don’t arrive, then the first session should instead be on Wednesday 5th August from 6pm.

Membership application forms are available from today for anyone wishing to join the club for the remainder of the summer period until the end of September. Currently we are taking on members who;
(a) have completed a beginners course but are not currently members of another club or of Archery GB (we would need to see proof of your beginners course certificate)
(b) are archers without current AGB membership, wishing to return to the sport*
(c) have their own shooting equipment.

For more information including current membership fee’s, or to request an application form, please email us at: info@towcesterarchers.co.uk.

Any current archers (with Archery GB membership) who are interested in joining or shooting with Towcester Archers, we are inviting you to come along and shoot with us for free (or for a small donation if they insist) for the remainder of the outdoor season. Email us at info@towcesterarchers.co.uk to book a shooting slot or for more information.

For anyone wanting to get into archery and do a beginners course, we are planning to hold our first course starting late August or early September. More information to follow very soon.
