Our courses are run by fully qualified Coaches and comply with all current archery safety and safeguarding standards. Our club will supply all the equipment needed for those enrolled on a course. We have enough equipment to suit all sizes and physical strengths. The courses are group sessions, with a maximum of 24 students. There will be one coach per four students, for best individual tuition, though some instruction/demonstrations are initially made to the group as a whole, by the Head Coach. After completion, each student is presented with a certificate of competence and membership of BSA is then normally available.
