We run a number of beginners courses throughout the year although numbers are limited for each course. Beginners courses will help you get started on your journey, teaching you how to shoot safely and to provide you with the basic skills to start shooting at clubs.
Courses cost £50 and include four sessions of archery with our qualified coaches and experienced archers, plus two free practice sessions. You will then have the opportunity to become a full member. Our beginners courses are advertised here and on social media. When spaces are available, a registration form will be available below.
All shooting members of the Tiverton Archery Club (TAC) are required to be fully paid-up members of Archery GB and must be able to demonstrate that they can shoot safely (e.g. either complete a Beginners Course or have previous experience at another Archery Club).
Members pay Archery GB directly for their membership, and a separate fee to TAC which covers the running costs of the club and includes a contribution to the Devon and Cornwall Archery Society (DCAS, which is the County tier organisation) and to The Grand Western Archery Society (GWAS, which is the regional tier organisation).
Archery GB membership is annual and becomes due on the anniversary of your joining date. For example, if you join AGB in October 2024, your renewal date will be in October 2025. It is the member’s responsibility to ensure they have current Archery GB membership, and you must advise the Club Secretary of your renewal date upon joining. Unfortunately, due to Archery GB insurance conditions, you will not be permitted to shoot at Tiverton Archery Club without proof of current membership of Archery GB. Details on how to join Archery GB can be found here: How to Become an Archery GB Member
Tiverton Archery Club’s “club year” is from 1st June to 31st May so fees become due on 1st June each year. Part-year memberships are prorated weekly and charged depending on the number of weeks left to the end of the Club Year (31st May) and are currently £120/year for adults (21+) and £90/year for Juniors (under 21). Concessions are available and we also offer associate membership, details on application.
