It would be nice to just get on a level 1 course. I spent many months last year trying to locate one in Warwickshire/West Midlands and lost count of how many people at
GNAS (or people they told me to speak to) I have spoken to with no success. I was advised in the end to go for a Leaders course, which I did, but it was very basic and the vast majority of people on it were not even archers and were due to run archery courses upon completion!!!
there doesn't appear to be a great deal of inteest in getting people signed up on coaching courses (at least not in my neck of the woods)
