I don't know the club you mention (as I am from "down south") but many clubs will not take juniors without their parents being present - the problems of child protection in this day and age, I'm afraid.
Looking at the Long Eaton club website on the beginners courses page (
http://www.lefa.org.uk/begin.htm) it says:
"For 12 year olds and under, a parent or family adult (18 plus) must complete the course with the child. From 12 to 16 an adult responsible for the child must accompany them at all times."
Persuade your parents to let you undertake a beginners' course - the club will provide the equipment during the course (and usually for some time after, possibly for a small fee). The prove to them it is not a "passing fad" by you enthusiasm and commitment.
Good luck - archery is a brilliant sport.
