Bowmen of Danesfield in West Somerset is a club with a long tradition. For us, it’s not all about serious training: we love it when our teams or archers win, but we’re just as enthusiastic about our groups that simply meet for fun.
We don’t differentiate between our members. Anyone is welcome to join us. Our coaches are team members just like anyone else and will be happy to discuss all aspects of what we offer.
We’re always happy to welcome new members who are interested in joining in with club activities, helping us organise and being part of our community.
We meet several times a week, at our base of Danesfield School, Williton. The school has offered fantastic support in our activities since the beginnings of the club.
During the Summer months, we shoot outside and inside during the Winter.
