  • We regret that we can not offer teaching courses to children under the age of 14 at this time.
  • All the equipment you will require for one of our courses, including the bow, arrows and safety equipment, will be provided.
  • All bookings and enquiries for courses (with the exception of information pertaining to what you will learn or whether the course is suitable for you) should be made to Redbridge Adult Institute.

While we would be happy for you to come to the club to discuss taking an archery course, we ask that you contact us first to arrange a suitable time and date.

Arriving without making a prior arrangement can cause considerable disruption to those shooting and it is possible no one will be available to discuss archery with you.

After your lessons we would be delighted if you wish to join the club as a full member. Some equipment is available for you to hire to start you off. We would suggest that it is a very good idea to avoid buying any equipment until you have learnt a little about this traditional pastime as it is very likely you could make an expensive mistake.
