About the Club

Ely Archers is a small and friendly club. We promote shooting socially, for fun and shooting seriously for tournaments. The club runs an "open-to-all" policy, we accept anyone regardless of gender, ability, race or religion. We do operate a minimum age policy - for children to be considered for membership, or a course, they must be 10 years old or subject to individual evaluation by experienced archers to ensure they are physically capable of shooting a bow.

The Club was formed in 2004 by two local archers, and membership grew steadily from there - we now have about 30 members. Not all club members shoot regularly every week, but obviously the more you shoot, the better value you are getting from your membership! We have a wide range of members who shoot all types of bows.

We are pleased to have developed close links with Littleport Leisure Centre, where we shoot regularly (for session times please see our club's Home Page ). There is a bar that also serves good food at Littleport and many of our members enjoy a drink or a meal there after an evening's shooting at the club.

You will find all sorts of people at the club with differing abilites, including children, visually impaired, and archers in the county squad. The Club has received a grant in the past for its support for disabled archers. We have an honorary member who is a County Coach, and who runs his own coaching school - for more details of his services, please click here

On 1 July 2007, the Club was proud to host the East Anglian Championships at Littleport, the first time that we have organised such a large and prestigious event.

Club fees are charged per season, with a discount for payment of a whole year in advance. For details of the current costs please contact the Treasurer.

This is just a little about who we are; everyone in the club is very approachable, so don't hold back from asking anything of anyone - we will be pleased to answer any questions that you may have and will always try to help. Our contact details are here.
