Chessington Bowmen welcomes new members and is presently accepting applications from experienced archers who are, or have previously been members of an archery club and novices who have completed an Archery GB Approved Beginner Course.
If you are new to archery, before applying for membership please visit our Beginners Page and register your interest in joining one of our beginner courses. We will contact you when we will be running our next course.
If you are or have previously been a member of an archery club in the UK (affiliated to Archery GB) or a similar club overseas, please contact our membership secretary or download the forms shown on the links below. We will ask you to shoot with us before confirming your membership acceptance to assess your level of experience and understanding of safety rules.
New members will usually be affiliated through the club to Archery GB which among other benefits ensures you have the necessary insurance cover. If you are already affiliated through another UK club, you may join as an associate member.
