Important information and documents for members

Welcome to the member info page for Lacetown Archers. Please take a few minutes to read through the attached club documents, which you will hopefully find useful. You can also read minutes taken from our latest club AGM, and sign up for informative newsletters from the Devon and Cornwall Archery Association.

About the club and membership

We are a target archery club who shoot all types of bow styles, including recurve, compound, barebow and longbow. The club offers both senior and junior membership. We have qualified Archery GB coaches, who are here to help and assist you. However as per archery etiquette, after you have completed a beginners’ course it should be down to you, the archer, to ask for advice or assistance rather than a coach come to you, unless there is clearly a risk to your or another archer’s personal safety. Our more experienced archers can also provide tips as well, however, please respect the fact that if they are doing a scoring round you may need to wait for another time or seek guidance from another archer.

Safety

The club shoots to strict safety rules which are laid down by the archery governing body, and we have a fantastic safety record. We ask all members to follow these rules on each occasion they shoot for the safety of themselves and others.

The committee

The club’s committee is made up of volunteers from the club and are appointed at the annual general meeting which usually takes place in July each year. The AGM is your opportunity, as a member, to have a say on how your club is run and managed and to volunteer to do one of the roles which is essential to the workings of the club, without which we could not function.
