We meet most Wednesday evenings throughout the year. From October to April at Lochside Lisure Centre, Forfar, from 7:30pm until 10:30pm (subject to confirmation) and from April to September at South Leckaway Farm, Forfar DD8 1XF, from about 6:45pm until it gets dark! (If it is pouring with rain or really miserable weather it is not worth attending).It is recommended that relatively tight fitting clothing is worn, and when shooting outdoors warm clothing is essential.
Anyone wishing to try archery should first contact the club, using the details below, to determine availability of beginners places. Beginners are then asked that their FIRST night of attendance be either the first or second Wednesday of a month as club competitions are held towards the ends of the month and there will be NO tuition. Anyone over the age of 9 may attend, Juniors only until 9.30pm though. Equipment is provided by Lochside Bowmen along with tuition.
There is a weekly fee: -
- throughout the Indoor Season (i.e. October to April), Juniors and Concessionary are charged £3.00 and Seniors £5.00 per week of attendance.
- throughout the Outdoor Season (i.e. April to September), there is a one-off fee of £25 for Senior members and £10 for Junior Members. This covers all outdoor shooting.
Six weeks after first attending Lochside Bowmen, beginners are then required to become Club members as insurance cover then expires. A year’s membership with Lochside Bowmen costs £15.00 for Juniors and £68.00 for Seniors. Membership is due on 1st October each year, however, if an archer joins between April and October, their membership is not due for renewal until 1st October of the following year. This cost covers the 2007/08 seasons.
