How to join Welbeck Archers

New to the bow? Start here. To begin your archery adventure you'll first need to complete a beginners' course, open from age 10 upwards. After the course, you'll understand the basics and be able to shoot safely over short distances — and you'll have the chance to join as a club member.

How to enrol

  1. Contact us at membership@welbeckarchers.club.
  2. Arrange a starting date with us.
  3. Pay your course fees.
  4. Keep turning up, and enjoy yourself.

Courses are run by our club coaches at set intervals throughout the year — outdoors during spring and summer, and at our indoor venue during autumn and winter when it’s too dark to shoot outside.

What we will do

  • Provide all the archery equipment you'll need for the course.
  • Provide safety instruction and supervision.
  • Teach you a basic Target Archery technique.
  • Give you the opportunity to apply for Welbeck Archers membership.
  • Give advice on the types and sources of your own equipment.
  • Have third-party liability insurance in place through Archery GB.

What we ask of you

  • Close-fitting clothing for the upper body.
  • Outdoors: enough clothing to keep warm and dry — thin layers, plus something you can slip on while waiting.
  • Indoors: anything comfortable but fairly close-fitting.
  • Flat, sturdy footwear that encloses your toes — no sandals or flip-flops. Boots are recommended outdoors in wet conditions.
  • Remove any jewellery or facial piercing that could cause a hazard.
  • Tie back long or flowing hair, or keep it under a hat.

Already an archer?

If you're a current AGB member of another club, you can join us as an affiliated member — or as a full member, which means leaving your current club. If you've shot in the past, are not a current AGB member, or hold an affiliation with another archery organisation, we'll ask you to complete an assessment before joining.

Contact membership@welbeckarchers.club for more information.
