Frostbite Fun and New Indoor Venue

Posted on by

Sat 27 Dec started chilly, clear and with 7 bosses out on Wicken Field for the annual Frostbite competition. The morning was thoroughly enjoyed by new and more experienced members – our club secretary even posted a new club record!

Indoor Venue Move

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances we are moving venue for the remainder of the indoor season. From 4 Jan 2026 we will move to a sports dome on the Akeley Wood Sixth Form site (Tile House Mansion – MK18 5AN).

Timings remain unchanged: Sunday 10-12 noon and Monday 7-9pm.

Indoor season is in full swing – Sunday mornings and Monday evenings. Plenty of work on form and bow tuning … some of our archers don’t even bother with fletches …

For anyone wondering about Beginners’ Courses – we only run our courses during the outdoor season, and will start to line up a schedule early in the new year when the local competition calendar is firmed up. If you’re interested, drop us a line via the Beginners’ Course page and we’ll get back to you when we announce dates.
