Fancy having a go at Archery?
Local Archery club to Host Free ‘Have-a-Go’ Day at New Corston Venue
We are a thriving local archery club, and invite people of all ages to come and try archery for free at a special open event on Sunday, 10th August, from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM at our new ground at Stothert and Pitt RFC, located just off the A4 between Bath and Bristol, near Saltford.
The event is part of Start Archery week, a national campaign supported by Archery GB to encourage people to give archery a go, no matter their experience or background.
Founded in 2010, Bitton Archers has built a reputation as a welcoming, family-friendly club. Their move to Corston follows the redevelopment of their previous range and marks an exciting new chapter for the club.
“We’re thrilled to be settled into our new location and incredibly grateful to Stothert and Pitt RFC for making us feel welcome,” said the club chairman, Colin. “This open day is our way of giving back to the community and inviting everyone to discover why we love this sport.”
No booking or experience is required, but you may like to drop us a line to have-a-go email address to let us know you are coming. All equipment will be provided, and fully qualified coaches will be on hand to guide beginners safely through the basics.
We will have cake, tea, coffee, squash etc to purchase while you’re waiting or you could have a chat to one of our members about archery and our club, and learn about the club’s beginner courses, which will be launching very soon.
What to expect:
- Free ‘have-a-go’ archery for all ages (under-18s must be accompanied by an adult)
- Expert guidance from experienced Archery GB coaches and club archers
- Refreshments and friendly club members happy to answer questions
- Opportunities to sign up for future beginner sessions
The club encourages visitors to wear comfortable clothing and flat, closed-toe shoes.
