Indoor Season Opens

Please observe these safety rules

We will be shooting on the football pitch 3 so the container will need to be closed while we shoot

Roping off will be from the gap along behind the shooting line.  The red flags will be placed in the gap as usual and a notice put at the bottom right and left of the shooting area where there is a pathway (not a right of way).

When shooting on a Sunday morning , please ensure that there are at least 2 adults present.

It is possible to shoot outside the designated times but you must check in and out at the Leisure Centre and there must always be at least 2 adults present on the field.

Lost arrows need to entered in the club log book which will then be taken to the leisure Centre, ask for the duty manager, so that he/she can duplicate the details. The same applies when an arrow is found.
