Calling all Archers. Attendance at Keiss Archery is dwindling. Those members who have paid thier membership fees come along and use what you`ve paid for. If you don`t use it we could lose it! Any people who would like to join us should come along on a wednesday evening at 6.30pm.If enough people show an interest then we may be able to do another beginners course.

Can I ask a stupid question, but, where is this Keiss Archery?

I would be interested but dont have a clue where about you are. Is it just the hall?? Also, what are the fees like?

Many thanks

It is held in Keiss Hall (http://www.gmrhenderson.co.uk/images/4f2large.jpg) (here (http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=58.534437,-3.123304&spn=0.002957,0.009613&z=17) - about 50 yards along High Street from the A99).

First session is free, subsequent ones are £3 for adults and £2 for juniors (10 years upwards).

Hope to see some new faces on Wednesday :D

I really hope the club prospers, I enjoyed my 'sessions' (albeit only briefly) before business got in the way.

If I could get the time off again, I'd be there like a shot....but only a shot from a Long or Flat bow...none of this ponsey 'modern' mularkey.;)

Archery is good fun, I remember many moons ago, er about 30 years ago, I used a Quicks T101 Recurve Bow. Never was in an actual club but I still had fun.

I am now way past it and I could not even draw it back half way, even if I still had it, which I dont.

But if anyone fancies Archery I can recommend it and going along to Keiss Archery would be a great way to start I am sure. :D

My son and I took up the challenge and have been for the last two Wed evenings...and its been great! Everyone has been friendly to a pair of newcomers, and helpful with advice (especially since I have some hand difficulties and often have to improvise equipment and technique with various things), and its a nice and relaxed atmosphere for a couple of newbies.

My (Very fit, 15 year-old) lad is quite keen and has been for a while, and hopefully shows some promise. I'm along for the enjoyment, and to sort of challenge myself a bit...dont know if I'll ever amount to anything, but heres hoping! :lol:

And the website looks great. :)
