Beginner’s Courses 2023 – filling fast

Bosses in February

The days are getting longer and, notwithstanding the odd icy blast, the afternoons a touch warmer. Our first two courses of 2023 (March and April) are now full, but there are spaces available later in the spring. Each is of 2 consecutive Sunday afternoons 13:30 to 16:15:

  • May – 14th and 21st
  • June – 4th and 11th
  • September – 17th and 24th
  • October – 1st and 8th
  • October – 22nd and 29th

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.

  • May – 14th and 21st
  • June – 4th and 11th
  • September – 17th and 24th

Indoor for the winter season (still outdoor beginners’ courses available)

Akeley indoor venue autumn 2022

We’ve now moved indoors to Akeley Wood on Monday and Tuesday evening for our Winter season. Fat arrows have been retrieved from summer storage and plungers are being replaced/retuned by our recurve archers.

However we’re still running outdoor beginner’s course. Two slots remaining in 2022 (2 consecutive Sunday afternoons 13:30 to 16:15):

  • 23rd and 30th October
  • 13th and 20th November.
