2026
September
The summer is nearly over .. does anyone remember it starting? Ok, we'll take your word for it! As a result we are nearing the end of the outdoor season. Starting in September, we will be back indoors at Hutchesons @ Pollok Park.(H@PP)
Thanks to the current strength of the club, we've decided to trial a Friday evening session (8pm til 10pm) during September. These will continue throughout the season if there is high enough attendance to justify the cost. We will also aim to have a coach available at each Friday session to improve that form! That means that our indoor schedule this winter will be:
- Wednesdays at 19:00-21:00 .. Club Night
- Fridays at 20:00-22:00 .. Coaching and tuning (September to start with)
- Saturdays at 13:00-15:00 .. Club Afternoon
Our first indoor session will be Wednesday 2nd September. Please get there about 30 mins early to get the targets out the container and ready to set up.
So get your indoor footwear and indoor excuses sorted out. Its time to shoot in the WARM AND DRY!
August
As our final event as part of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Festival, we will be hosting an afternoon of Come-and-Try sessions on Sunday 9th August. We will be running two sessions, each an hour long starting at 1pm, and 2pm respectively.

The round will be our usual 4th of July American with food and fancy dress if you feel up for some cosplay. (Its actually on the 5th .. closest Sunday to the 4th)

2025
November
This year the AGM will be on Wednesday 19th November, 1900 hrs at H@PP.
As with previous years there will be no practice that evening until the AGM completes which is normally circa 30 mins. The current Board is keen that as many members as possible attend that evening and participate in the meeting.
September
Officially the "summer" is over and its time for all good archers to head indoors where its warm, dry and you aren't likely to be blown off the line if you are less than robustly built. After our summer hols at Whitecraigs rugby club, we return to more familiar surroundings during the following times ...
Wednesdays: 7pm – 9pm indoors at H@PP, Haggs Rd (starting 3rd September)
Saturdays: 1pm – 3pm indoors at H@PP, Haggs Rd (starting 6th September)
Sunday shooting will be on an occasional basis - we'll inform you when - because Whitecraigs will want to use their grounds for Rugby during the winter ... Huh! you'd think they owned the place! ;o)
August
Either its been a while since we ran an event ... or we just forgot about this page. Guess which! ;o) but we do finally have an event...
'Family & Friends' Come and Try for Sunday 31st August at our outdoor venue - Whitecraigs Rugby Club.
A Friends and Family Come and Try is your chance to bring family members and friends (or even just interested neighbours/work colleagues) to the club so that they can have a go at archery and perhaps get a taste of what drives their archery obsessed relatives to the field in all weathers (and the reason for the occasional bouts of Tourette's!). Even if just passing by, you are welcome to come have a go at the sport that makes even the most veteran hardened golfer look like a disinterested neophyte.
The session will run from 10:00 til 12:00 down on field 3 - you'll see us from the club house - so come along, get kitted up and shoot some arrows just like our archery ancestors did on a Sunday morn.
For the younger generation, we're be trying some sneaky indoctrination with 'Soft Archery' (100% kiddie safe). Also our very own 'Captain Sausage' will be performing his usual culinary magic with baguette and sausage.
The Club will be running a Tombola throughout the event. The costs of entering the tombola will be £1.00 and all money raised is to be donated to Cancer Research UK (other donations will also be gratefully accepted for this great cause).
