Back at the Walled Garden
We are now back at the Walled Garden, so normal service has been resumed!
School camp at the Walled Garden
We are expecting the school camp to be set up on our normal shooting location at the Walled Garden on Sunday (3rd June). The other half of the Walled Garden in its current condition is unfit to shoot on. Consequently, from Sunday morning until mid July we will temporarily relocate to Highfields/Hockey Club. Roping off will be required at Highfields each session and all arrows must be found. (The metal detectors and other items will be moved).
Note that Highfields will not be available while the tennis is on (9th – 17th June) members should be able to shoot with Beeston Rylands or Bramcote during this time.
Results Double 720 – 20th May
In what is our 70th year we ran a very successful shoot on Sunday. The standard of shooting was very high, there was a good attendance with several competitors travelling long distances. What made the event even better was the weather which was warm and sunny with hardly any breeze at all. Thank you to Wilford club members who made the event such a success. We are gratfeul for the support of Bramcote Archery Club, for the loan of extra foam bosses.
The ianseo results listing is here
We look forward to seeing you again next year.
Target list for Sunday’s double WA720
The day draws close, the target list is here. Can you please check your entry and ensure that it is correct, and that we have the correct AGB number.

Hats off (pun intended) to the childrens Have a Go and stall… maybe we have discovered some new juniors For the future.
