How To Join/Renew
Beginners
If you are new to archery, then you will need to complete a beginners’ course before you can join Rivernook Bowmen.
Beginners’ Course at Rivernook
Your beginners’ course can be at Rivernook – in which case on completion of the course there will be no need for further assessment before you can apply to join the club.
Beginners’ Course Elsewhere
If you have recently completed a beginners’ course elsewhere you will be asked to provide documentary evidence that you successfully completed the course and we will ask you to come and shoot with us as our guest prior to joining us. We’d like you to feel comfortable with us, the range and our facilities. We’d also like to meet you and see how you shoot. To arrange a visit please contact the club secretary or club president.
Experienced Archers
If you are, or have previously been, a member of another club or have otherwise gained experience in target archery, then we will ask you to come and shoot with us as our guest prior to joining us. We’d like you to feel comfortable with us, the range and our facilities. We’d also like to meet you and see how you shoot. To arrange a visit please contact the club secretary or club president.
Joining The Club
If, having met us and seen the facilities you would like to become a member of Rivernook Bowmen the next step is to complete the Membership Application form and send it to the membership secretary. All Memberships are subject to Committee approval (this is usually a formality).
