The question raised about the oldest club, may have a good read for anybody interested in the Archery UK. Winter 2006 edition starting on page 57.I didn't know if it could have been copied and pasted if anyone wanted to read it. Ref was made to Mr R. J. Dorling from Middlesex who was offering to collate Clubs and Dates if it was wished. ![]()

| Fraternity of St George? Still extant, and the original company of archers might be regarded loosely as a club. Back then they didn't have leisure or free time. It was all about dirt, rickets, plague and a lack of mobile phones. Longbow-Archers.com/Fraternity of St George 1509 | |||||||||||||

| Danda, sorry, but what makes you think they didn't have mobile phones? Surely they couldn't have lasted as long as they have without mobile phones. | |||||||||||
