Club Membership

Membership of the club is open to anyone aged 10 and over, meaning that it is something that the whole family can do together!  We would consider members from age 7 provided they are accompanied at all times by another shooting member - please contact the club for details.

Membership of the club also requires membership Archery GB. Archery GB are the national governing body for the Olympic sport of target archery in the UK. As members of Archery GB, club members will also be able to shoot at open competitions across the UK and, by arrangement, will also be able to shoot as guests at other Archery GB affiliated clubs in the UK.

All members will also receive a free copy of "Archery UK". This is the official Archery GB magazine which includes interesting articles together with details of all the competitions that are open to members.

Membership Fees

Membership fees fall into two parts, Archery GB and club membership fees.

Archery GB

Membership of Archery GB is a mandatory requirement for all members, in additon to the club membership fees.  The Blue Arrows treasurer can currently administer this on belhalf existing members although ArcheryGB are in the process of moving to directly administrating membership with notification of membership to the club secretary.  Payment is in the form of a single, annual fee, payable on the anniversary of your joining date.  

Note:  Fees are correct at time of publishing, please refer to ArcheryGB website for the latest prices.

Club Fees

A one off club joining fee of £20 is payable to new members or anyone joining after lapsed membership.

Annual Membership Fees

Club fees are payable annually on 1st April each year, preferably by bank transfer/standing order.

New members joining during the year that wish to pay annually, will be charged £14 for each full or partial month from date of joining until 31st March, then full year fees apply from 1st April.

At Blue Arrows, we recognise that spreading membership fees is beneficial to many members so permit the annual fee to be spread over the year at no extra cost.  Monthly payment is required in advance by standing order on 1st of each month. 

It should however be noted that if payments are intentionally stopped or are missed without letting the club know, will constitute as lapsed membership and therefore reinstatement will be subject to a joining fee.
