How To Join/Renew
Beginners
If you are new to archery, then your first step is to complete a beginners’ course.
Beginners’ Courses at Rivernook
Your beginners’ course can be at Rivernook. On completion there will be no need for any further assessment before you join the club. See How to Get Started for more information.
Beginners’ Courses Elsewhere
If you have recently completed a beginners’ course elsewhere, you will be asked to provide documentary evidence of your successfully completed course. We will then ask you to come and shoot with us, as our guest, prior to applying to join. 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 us.
Experienced Archers
If you are (or have previously been) a member of another club or have otherwise gained experience in target archery, we will ask you to come and shoot with us as our guest prior to joining. 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. All membership requests are subject to Committee approval (usually a formality). To arrange a visit please contact us.
Joining The Club
Having met us and seen the facilities, the next step to joining Rivernook Bowmen is filling in the Membership Application form . Once completed, please email it to the membership secretary and pay the appropriate membership fee (details are on the form).
