Beginners Courses
A new beginners course starts on Tuesday 3 January 2012 To reserve a place click HERE
To start in Archery you will need to complete a beginners course. These are run by our club coaches at intervals through the year. Outdoors during the spring and summer and at our indoor venue during autumn and winter when it's too dark to shoot outdoors.
After completing a course you will understand the basics of archery and be able to shoot over short distances safely and with a good basic technique.
When the course is over you will have the opportunity to join Welbeck Archers as a club member and continue with archery as a hobby or, if you want to, taking part in competitions all the way to representing Great Britain.
