Falkirk Company of Archers |
|
Falkirk Company of Archers was established in September 1971 although we believe that archery was practised in Falkirk in the early 1930's.
Falkirk Company of Archers is affiliated to the Scottish Archery Association (SAA) which is a region of the national governing body the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS).
Some of our club members have shot at Scottish and British Team level and one of our members - Moira Taylor was the British Olympic Team Manager. We also have members who play an important role in coaching throughout Scotland and also in the administration of SAA and GNAS.
In Winter we shoot indoors on Wednesday evenings from 7.30 - 10:30 pm at:
Woodlands Sports Hall, Cochrane Avenue, Falkirk (Street Map)
In Summer we shoot outdoors on Wednesday evenings from 7pm (prompt) till dark and on Saturday afternoons and some Sunday afternoons at:
Sunnyside Playing Fields, Camelon
To reach Sunnyside playing fields you go along the dual carriageway in Camelon and take the road signposted the Crematorium (this road passes down the side of the Copper Top pub and is approx. 300yds from the Beefeater pub at the canal). Follow the road straight down and pass under a railway bridge. Immediately under the bridge take a right along the side of the railway fence towards the Falkirk Rugby Club – there is a car park here and we store our equipment in the lower storeroom next to the block with steps leading up to it. Everyone is asked to meet here to assist in helping to put out the gear. (Street Map) |
