Club Officials

Who the Officials are

The club officials are volunteers and split into two categories:

Committee:

Who give their time to ensure the club is running smoothly, abiding by all governing body rules and laws, and ensuring the club is up to standard for the membership to shoot.

And coaches:

Our assistant coaches help out to teach archery to our beginners on our beginner courses.

While Coaches, can lead a beginner course due to their qualification, while also able to teach on beginner course. They are also available to give One To One coaching sessions to help any archer that wishes to improve their shooting.
