There is only one cost for a course. £45-00 both for adults or children.

If you are interested in taking a course please make first contact with the club using the phone number given below. Killingworth archers hold several beginners' courses over the winter months. Courses over the summer months rely so much on regular good weather that we cannot routinely offer these.

'Winter' courses will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6-45pm until 9pm and are held at Burnside School, Wallsend. Courses last for six weeks and the current cost is shown to your left.  As we use school premises we regret that courses may be delayed during exam time when the shooting hall is used as an exam venue. In this event we try to find an alternative venue but this cannot be promised.

The course administrator will try to let you know if you are able to be placed on the next course or one planned for later as we are limited to the numbers we can accomodate on each course and, often, the list of those interested is longer than our maximum number for a course.

All equipment is provided and fully qualified Grand National Archery Society coaches, often accompanied by experienced club archers run the courses. You will be shown the two basic shooting styles and we follow the governing body recommendations for the content of the six week course. We include, apart from shooting technique; scoring methods, competition etiquette, and much more. After the completion of the course you will be presented with a certificate to confirm that you attended the course. If you subsequently wish to join an Archery club, not necessarily ours, this certificate will confirm to them the validity of your course.

Please note: that in the interests of safety we limit the entry age of children to those over ten years of age. We also send out a small questionnaire to ensure that we make the best efforts to have the correct equipment ready for the course to suit members of the course, and to ensure that you will not be asked to do something which you may not be physically able to do or find excessively uncomfortable.

Also note that the club is amateur and we have no paid employees. Most of our members and coaches hold down daily jobs as well as provide support to the club in their leisure time. I hope any delay in providing a course does not deter you from trying 'Archery' as a sport or recreation?
