Gift Vouchers for beginners training of four lessons are available from the secretary or by contacting the Chair. These are priced at £80 to cover instructors time and wear on club equipment. A brief initial taster session can be provided before committing to the beginners course Club bows and arrows are available for new members to hire for a modest fee until you can obtain your own equipment. These fees are £5 per session for use of a club bow plus £5 if using club arrows and bracers etc. These fees are to cover potential breakages and replacement of worn equipment. New members would be encouraged to obtain their own equipment once they have attained a reasonable level of ability and strength. The normal minimum starting age is Thirteen (may be relaxed to twelve for youngsters with previous archery experience) due to the physical nature of the longbow and the fact that it is a weapon. Club days are a Sunday from 11:00am unless there is a competition on (see events for info). We also meet on a Wednesday evening from 6pm during the summer and members can shoot at other times provided there is more than one. 2022 charges. Beginners Training 4 lessons @ £80.

Find out more here --- RHET SBCI can help you with: Farm Visits Classroom Speakers Resources Projects Events Farm Visits For Primary and Secondary schools RHET SBCI has a number of farms in the area with a network of volunteer farmers and their families who kindly give their time to support RHET. A farm visit can support many areas of the curriculum such as environmental studies, IT and business studies, technology, science, mathematics and enterprise. Visits are provided from Level 1, linked to experiences and outcomes, and compliment DYW, STEM and LfS agendas. We carry out regular risk assessments of all participating farms to the standard recommended in the Health and Safety Executive’s Guidelines on Educational Excursions. Around two weeks prior to the actual visit, the class teacher will visit the farm with our Project Coordinator to meet the farmer, walk the route and check over the risk assessment. Classroom Talks For Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools. We have a network of trained classroom speakers, made up of volunteer farmers from the local area, who can visit your school and bring farming and the countryside to life. Once a booking has been confirmed, the speaker will contact the teacher to discuss the format, content of the session and curriculum links. Some ideas are: The story of milk, from cow to carton A day in the life of a farmer Scottish agriculture From farm to fork Recycling on the farm Careers in the countryside These are only suggestions and all talks are tailored to meet individual needs.
