Recommend a club for a new guy?

Hi there.

I live in Plymouth and am interested in starting archery. I have e-mailed a couple of clubs i heard of in this link

Devon and Cornwall Archery Society

So far i havent recieved any response and so i was wondering if there are any AIUK members who are part of a club in or near Plymouth that they would recommend to me.

Im interested in Field archery and im a complete beginner apart from 1 hours archery i took part in recently.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hello Mike!

There are no field archery clubs in Plymouth but there are two NFAS clubs not too far away, one is Muscovey (Liskeard) and the other is Tavistock also a GNAS club. You can find out more by visiting www.nfas.org for details on these clubs. Any problems then P.M. and I'll do all I can to help including a poke in the eye to those you have e-mailed without response.

Firstly, thanks a lot for the quick response OB.

If you or anyone else would care to recommend any Target archery clubs in Plymouth i would be interested in giving those a call to at least take a starter/safety course with a local club and then if i dont get into target archery id probably explore the field archery more. I have only tried Field archery so having a go at target archery would seem a smart thing to do as well.

Once again any help appreciated.

Looking for a club to join in Plymouth district.

There is a local club that goes under the name of Yealverton Archers. Why not call up the Plymouth Library for details; ie secretary's phone number. Maybe the GNAS will have contcts - but you never know.....! Roy H

Sorry I'm not from the area but have you looked at the GNAS website, it is how I first found my club.

WRT contacting clubs be patient I have often found it takes a while to get responses, without generalising club organisers are generally the sort of people who don't spend every day on the Internet or e-mail like us lot or try and find a phone number for them.
