The club is situated at the Washlands Sports Club, where we share a large field and clubhouse with several other local sports clubs. Informal practise sessions take place on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons until dusk, as well as Sunday late morning and afternoon. During the winter months, we offer indoor shooting at a local school sports hall on Thursday evenings, while still conducting outdoor sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays when daylight and weather permit.
Throughout the summer, we have an exciting calendar of club shoots and open tournaments. Although winter limits the shooting distances, we continue to maintain an active calendar of events. Our club also participates in league shoots against other Derbyshire clubs and organises various fun shoots and social gatherings.
Burton Bridge Archers is affiliated with Archery GB, the governing body for archery in the UK, as well as Derbyshire County Archery Association (DCAA) and East Midlands Archery Society (EMAS). These affiliations provide our members with opportunities to compete and interact with archery clubs from across the country.
