We have four (!) beginners’ courses scheduled for this autumn. Each is of 2 consecutive Sunday afternoons 13:30 to 16:15. The courses are planned for:

  • 18th and 25th September,
  • 2nd and 9th October,
  • 23rd and 30th October
  • 13th and 20th November.

We provide all the equipment required for the course, which are all outdoors at Wicken Sports Ground. Juniors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the course.

Enjoy the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness in the countryside and drop us a line via the Beginners’ Course page.

Free range bosses

With summer here it’s time to let the bosses graze outside; of course they need rounding up at the end of the session – suitable whistling (arrows) gets them into order for the evening lock up.
