* The bretons column shows the cost of joining as a single membership or as one parent of an under 18’s child.
Costs could change based on the required membership.

Under 18s will require one responsible adult to join Bretons unless they’re also an archer.
Adult supervision is required at all times when on Bretons and club premises.

Club renewal happens in October, in line with Archery GB’s previous renewal cycle.
Bretons fees will be removed if already a direct member with them.

Bretons Family memberships cost £15 and include two adults and their children.
Members who join between October and the end of the year will be asked to pay for Bretons renewal for the following March (same fee again).

Members who join between January and March will have their Bretons membership renewed until March the year after.
Returning members who were not members in the previous year will be classed as a new member and will be charged the new member fee.

Archery GB has updated the pricing and renewal structures. Renewal now happens yearly from the date of joining.
An update on future Archery GB fees has been recently released and can be read on this link.

Shooting fees

In an effort to keep joining fees lower, our club operates a partial pay-as-you-go model.

We charge a small fee every time members shoot:
Indoors: £3 – (£1.50 for target fees + £1.50 for venue hire)
Outdoors: £1.50 (for target fees)

Competitions and other events can have other small charges applied to cover running costs.
The club will always aim to keep costs as low as possible in order to make participation as accessible as we can. 

These are payable by cash or card, whichever is more convenient.
