About the Club

Arrow Divider


Fenland Archery Club was founded in September 2006 by 10 like-minded local archers with a goal of addressing the need for a premier quality archery experience in Whittlesey, East Peterborough and surrounding areas. Since its inception, the club has grown in size to over 50 members and continues to grow year on year.

The club has a stated aim of promoting archery in all its forms and is the only club with dual Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) and National Field Archery Society (NFAS) membership in the Cambridgeshire area. Members are active in shooting both target and field archery competitions throughout the year. The club has a number of GNAS licensed coaches who can assist with developing your shooting.

Despite being a relatively young club, members have been very successful in local and regional competitions, winning both the East Anglian and Cambridgeshire titles in both longbow and recurve disciplines.

Members shoot all common bow types including recurve, compound, flatbow, English longbow and Mongolian bows although the dominant bow styles are recurve, longbow and compound.

Members of the club are active in both the local and greater Cambridgeshire communities in support of charities, local clubs and schools and are currently the only local club to offer coaching by Archery GB licensed coaches.

Our Equipment officer Paul Attwood is supporting the Mary Rose trust in its attempt to raise money to give the Nation a world-class museum and to preserve for future generations this extraordinary ship and all her treasures.  The long period of spraying will come to an end in 2011 and the hull will be slowly dried out with conservation completed in 2016. The public will then enjoy a much closer, fully illuminated look at the ship.  Over 14,000 of the artefacts will be displayed , shown in their original positions and in relation to their owners, presenting a vivid illustration of life on board a Tudor warship.
