Membership of Warlingham Archery Club is open to all members of the community irrespective of ability. Our primary activity is target archery.
Becoming a member
Archery GB has published a set of 'Codes of Conduct' applicable to Members; Adult Archers; Junior Archers; Coaches and officials; and, Spectators, Parents and Carers. We expect everyone to comply at all times.
We recruit new members in one of the following ways:
- 1Introduction to Archery courses: where those new to archery will receive expert instruction and a general introduction to the modern sport of Archery. Courses are normally run twice a year (spring and autumn), conducted by our qualified coaches with use of our stock of high quality bows and accessories. Upon completion of the course, the trainee will receive a certificate confirming they have completed a course conducted under Archery GB guidelines and may join the Club.
To reserve a place on our Introduction to Archery course, please contact us. - 2If applicants have formerly practised archery to an acceptable level (preferably as a member of an Archery GB affiliated club) they have the opportunity of joining. They may be subject to a trial shoot where their abilities and awareness of safety rules will be assessed by 1 of our coaches.
Note: Junior members over the age of 11 years are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult if under 16 years.
