__________________________________________
Our club is proud to be open and welcoming to anyone who wishes to take up archery. So if you want to get involved in the sport, we want you to. All our competitions have categories for Gents / Ladies, novice (those who have not held national archery membership before September of this year) / experienced, longbow / barebow / freestyle / compound. So if you want to represent your university; you can. However, whilst these categories do exist, we go to the competitions together & we train together. So regardless of if you want to compete or not, or what category you may fit into; you'll be shooting alongside everyone else.
__________________________________________
We shoot indoors at Coombe Di**le every Wednesday (19:30 - 22:00), Friday (19:00 - 22:00) and Sunday (9:00 - 12:00). Once we get to around the end of the 2nd term, we start transitioning to outdoor shooting (also at Coombe Di**le) which will be arranged nearer the time.

We have a Social membership which costs £25 for the year and includes access to two session per week, all equipment provided, Archery GB membership and the chance to represent the University (with categories for experienced archers and those who have taken up the sport this academic year) in our regional league (South Wales and West Universities - SWWU) and at national competitions (British Colleges & Universities Sport - BUCS). We also have a Development membership which costs £35 for the year and includes all the benefits of a Social membership, plus access to the third session which will be more focused and will include group coaching. If you have never shot before, you will be able to get all the benefits of the Development membership with our Novice membership (£10) after completing our beginners' course (£30). Session fees are £2 per archer. Session cards are on offer; these are the £12.50 card which covers 7 sessions and the £21 card which covers 15 sessions. As a sports club, we require all our members to have a sports pass. However, we you only need the cheapest version ( ) so any sports pass will cover you.
