North East Wales Archery Club
We have a beginners course over the weekend of the 7th and 8th September 2024.
This will be a 9 hours split over the Saturday and Sunday mornings 9:30am – 2pm. A maximum of 12 beginners will be accommodated.
This will be held indoors at the Shotton Scout hut to ensure the weather doesn’t soak us.
All equipment will be provided and tea/coffee making facilities are available.
Please register for the course here.
The next scheduled Have-A-Go will be on the 22nd May 2022.
We will be running the Have-A-Go from 10am to 2pm.
You’ll get 15 minutes of shooting for £5 under the instruction of an experienced archer. This will allow you get an idea of what archery is all about and talk to current members of the club.
Sign up for the Have-A-Go session here.
So nice to see a good representation of archers on the line again after so long under restrictions and to see the club growing again with novices.
A huge congratulations go out to TeamGB’s Paralympic Archery medal winners.

This adds to the fantastic success the UK has had in Para-Archery in the past. GB Archers have brought home 68 medals from 1960 to 2020, leading the medal table for Archery in the Paralympics.
I could fill this post with a list of every single medal winner but it would go on for pages. Each medalist has overcome tremendous disability to achieve their accolade and I admire every one of them.
Many thanks to those who helped during the Have-A-Go session on Sunday.
It was a roaring success with great feedback for those that participated.
Here is some feedback:
Many thanks to you and fellow volunteers yesterday. William very much enjoyed the experience of shooting at the targets. Hopefully he may pursue Archery as time goes by, but more probably here in the Wirral. But you all certainly gave him a good taste of it. – Geoff

Thank you so much for a lovely morning, we all really enjoyed it. – Kate
We now have a full Beginners Course as 7 participants signed up on the back of the course and 4 parents have also signed up.
In celebration of restarting outdoor shooting after a long absence we are inviting any lapsed members of the club and members of the public to a have-a-go on the 11th July 2021.
This will be held on the outdoor grounds on Rowley Drive, Shotton from 10am to 2pm.
Registration is now closed! We look forward to seeing those who have registered on the day.
The generous efforts of our superb committee has brought to life an additional location for the indoor shooting. Thanks to Pete and Gareth, we have confirmed a new range at the Scouts base in Connah’s Quay.
The indoor season is upon us!
We’ll gather (almost) every sunday morning in Connah’s Quay at Coleg Cambria with a renewed and exciting schedule.
