I have just come back to the sport and live in Dol.
My my, how things have changed in the years I have been away.
So, is there anyone out there local who would like to hook up sometime, point me in the right direction with clubs and stuff. that kind of thing.

Hi K..,

Pretty sure there's not a club especially close to you I'm afraid..
Have a look at http://www.northwalesarchery.org.uk/index.htm
for the North Wales clubs. If you fancy a trip to Wrexham one day you'd be made welcome (PM me if you fancy a drive over), as I know you would in all the NW clubs

There was an attempt to start one in Porthmadoc of which a few members of the UWBAC went to help with but i dont know if it took off.
I think there may be a club inside Dyfed Archery Societies area near Machynlleth , i know its a long trek, i do part of it when going from Bangor to Carmarthen, the next club is Gwynedd Bowmen on Anglesey or Snowdon Archers near Llanberis.
I will admit that there seems to be a drought in archery clubs between Aberystwyth and Bangor.
If fancy takes you towards Wrexham i know you'll get a welcome from them.

I kind of got that impression from trawling the web and the GNAS site. It's not a dead loss as I can get in up to about a 20m range indoors at home but it would be nice to get out and socialise in the club environment.
Wrexham sounds good so in the New Year I will have a run over to find you and see how it goes from there.
Thanks for the responses and have a great Christmas and New Year.
see you sometime in '07

Cheers Pete, I am a bit caught up in the family thing over the festivities so not really an option until the New Year.
I intend to have a run over to Wrexham to say hello when all the festive stuff has died down a bit.
Still a bit rusty on the old technique. Yesterday was the first time I have shot since 1978, schoolboy archer in those days.

A group of us have formed a Club called the Dyffryn Nantlle Archers that will be based in PENYGROES - 7 Miles south of Caernarfon, on Wednesdays Evenings in the next few Weeks.
We have just sorted the location out, and are finalising a few things ( Public Liability, Equipment and so forth ), and will be very welcoming to new people, experienced or beginners, who wish to come along and join us.
Can't wait !!!!!
