Finally shooting outdoors – Sept 2017

December 9, 2018

Firstly, Congratulations to all of our members who took part in the Jolly Archers Western Shoot on the 31st July - as a club, we came away with one trophy and another 5 medals in assorted guises. This has been our best showing to date, and I'm sure that there is more to come in the future. In other news - we are moving to a new outdoor venue! In the last week we have concluded negotiations with the Thorney RUFC to move our outdoor venue to their ground. The Focus centre will continue to be our home for the indoor season, but all outdoor sessions will be at Thorney from 7th August 2022.

We look forward to being able to provide more availability for shooting in the future, and are considering the possibility of putting on our own open competition next year - something that has not been possible before. Griffin Archers have had an amazing resurgence of membership and interest since we re-opened in April 2021, after the lockdown restrictions. This is such great news, both for us as a club and for Archery as a sport. People are recognising the benefits of archery, the social aspects and the personal challenges it brings with it.
