Canterbury Archers

Welcome to the Website of

Canterbury Archers

President's Address

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Canterbury Archers website. I do hope that you find it of interest. We are one of the longest established archery clubs in Kent and, being based at the Simon Langton Grammar School for Girls, are fortunate in having the use of a large, well-maintained sports field and not least in having the exclusive use of a sports pavilion, which provides space for meetings, equipment storage, toilet facilities and a well-equipped kitchen.

Members are able to shoot with the traditional longbow, recurve or compound bow and we have club members from ten years of age through to quite a number of senior citizens.

During the year the club runs a number of courses for beginners to the sport and all the equipment for these courses is provided.

Archery is very much a family sport and as we all shoot from the same line - but at varying distances - there is always a friendly social atmosphere.

For some members shooting is very much just a pleasant, relaxing form of sport but for the more enthusiastic there are plenty of opportunities to enter tournaments at other clubs in the county or even further afield - the choice is yours.

Do get in touch if you would like to to become involved in this ancient sport. Remember, age is not a barrier and there are a number of archers who have physical disabilities or visual impairment who are able to enjoy the thrill of using a bow.

I look forward to meeting you on the shooting line one day.

With all good wishes,

John Trinder

Club President
