The Coquet Valley Archers
2012 Season Begins.
Coquet Valley Archers start the new season in good form with new equipment purchased with the help of our grant from Sport England.
The club has its base in Upper Coquetdale and was formed in October 2010 after a number of successful 'have a go days' were held.
The grant application for £7,298 was made with the support of North Country Leisure and has allowed us to purchase equipment for our growing membership and arrange for the training of archery coaches in the coming months. The CVA have a current membership of approximately fifty people with meetings held on Sundays and Tuesday evenings during the summer. The club has access to a number of venues where we can shoot, all in the picturesque Coquet valley.
A box trailer was kindly donated last year by Dave Dakars Engineering Services enabling us to transport the targets and bows to the various sites.
We also received some funds from the Upper Coquet Resource Group last year which enabled us to maintain the equipment already in use.
Both juniors and adults (left and right handed!) can now be catered for with the new club equipment and the additional targets, bows, arrows and ancillary items will allow the new coaches to provide much more hands on experience.
The CVA shoot at all levels of ability and with a variety of types of bows. If you are interested in joining or want more details then please can get in touch at:
