Field Archery Associate

FGA was fortunate in 2008 to obtain Lottery Funding to finance the Field archery venue at Fletching which many local archers experienced through the two Open Shoots held in the Spring and late Summer. (See the relevant pages within this site plus the Location page regarding venue location)

The Fletching site offers a superb facility, heavily wooded with two attractive lakes comprising over 50 acres in total area. The Club took the decision to renew the rental agreement for 2010 at its own expense. We have insufficient field archers within FGA to really justify the expense involved and the long term future of the venue hinges on our ability to open up the facility to other local archery club members.

Accordingly we have established a new Field Archery Associate status within FGA designed to attract other Archers who whilst belonging to other local clubs are keen to regularly participate in Field Archery throughout the year.

Associates will also be able to use our alternative field venue at Friars Gate just outside Crowborough which is available from October through to the end of March. The Friars Gate Course is again heavily wooded though much more rugged in its terrain than Fletching offering a truelly challenging course.

Field Associate membership is available to existing GNAS members at £31.50 per annum. Complete and return Application form or email us (mail@friarsgatearchers.com) if you want to sample the locations prior to joining.

Layered foam targets have been purchased for all individual targets at Fletching which are premanently established at the venue.
