DUE TO CURRENT RESTRICTIONS SALE OF
SHOOTING MEMBERSHIPS IS SUSPENDED
Sale of shooting memberships will be suspended to ensure that we can cater to all the archers we take on. We will likely do a short limited run of membership sales in the near future once we are more sure of our session capacity. In the meantime, we have created a free 'non-shooting membership' which is available on our SU site here (click 'Join This Group' and select 'Non-Shooting Membership'). This will give you access to our members' Facebook page and notifications regarding when the sale of our shooting membership can resume.
Overview
Club membership is open to University of Bristol students, with others being considered on a case by case basis by the committee. Due to coronavirus restrictions, club membership may be capped at any point in the year.
To shoot with the club, all archers (barring Guest Archers) must have club membership and the #WeAreBristol SEH Sports Pass:
- #WeAreBristol Sports Pass
- Club Membership - this is broken down into four categories, see below.
In addition, non-University of Bristol students will need to purchase Associate Student Union membership. Non-student members must contact the committee before purchasing membership.
- Associate SU Membership
There is also a session fee that is paid to our treasurer at the start of each session, more info on that can be found here.
For people wishing to join the sport for the first time, you will need to attend one of our beginners' courses. These normally run in October and January. You do not need club membership for the duration of the course but will need to have paid the beginners' course fee.
