Jamie, the organiser, would like to welcome everyone to the Jolly Archers, an inclusive archery club in Huntingdon. Established on 1 August 1962 behind The Three Jolly Butchers Pub in Wyton village, the club has grown into one of the largest in Cambridgeshire. It's affiliated with the Cambridgeshire Archery Association, the Southern Counties Archery Society, and Archery GB, the sport's governing body.
Jamie wants to reassure everyone that the Jolly Archers cater to all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned competitors. Whether you're looking to compete or just enjoy the sport for leisure, the club offers a supportive environment that fosters camaraderie and personal growth. They welcome archers shooting all bow types, except crossbows.
To enhance members' archery skills, Jamie has organised coaching sessions led by experienced instructors. Beginners will receive proper guidance to kickstart their archery journey. For those seeking a competitive edge, the club hosts various tournaments, including the prestigious Jolly Archers Open Portsmouth, part of the Cambridgeshire Archery Association Indoor Championships. Keep an eye on the Tournaments page for upcoming events and registration details.
Jamie also highlights that the club excels in both indoor and outdoor shooting. Two outdoor tournaments are planned for 2024, with details to be announced soon. Jamie emphasises the spirit of healthy competition and aims to provide a well-organised environment for archers to showcase their skills.
Postal leagues and challenges are another area where the Jolly Archers actively participate. Jamie believes these activities foster teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship among members.
Conveniently located in a picturesque setting, the current club location offers a tranquil backdrop for outdoor shooting, allowing archers to relax and enjoy their practice amidst nature.
