The Novice Handbook
Welcome!
Hello Novices! A very warm welcome to the team from the Archery Club 2024-25 Committee. We are excited to have you!
Our Club has an extensive and renowned history of competitions, life-long friendships and great fun, so you're becoming a part of a fantastic community.
Training
The indoor archery season runs from September until March and training happens in the Archery range in the Pleasance Sports Complex & Gym.
During the indoor season, there are several coached and non-coached sessions available per week. You can find further information on the Indoor Training page.
The outdoor archery season runs from April until August and training happens in the Peffermill Playing fields. You can find more information on the Outdoor Training page.
There are various competitions that we as a team participate in. The competitions in which you are expected to participate will be student-only against other Novices (and occasionally Seniors).
You are also very welcome to – in fact encouraged to – participate as many open competitions as you want. Those are open to everyone, not just for students.
Familiarise yourself with all information you need regarding competitions, including institutions involved and how to prepare within the Novice Handbook.
Socials
We host regular social events from Karaoke nights to pub quizzes. They are great fun and a good way to get involved and get to know everyone!
More information about them will be available on our social media channels (Instagram and Facebook) and our Discord server.
We will be using various channels of communication from emails to an in-person Notice Board. We will do our best to keep you informed of everything you need to know!
Please read over the Key Contacts page linked below and familiarise yourself with how we will be in touch.
