Membership
HB Club Tournament and BBQ
About membership
The membership year starts from 1st October when the Club’s AGM is held and annual membership subscriptions and affiliations are paid – full members pay both of these.
Full membership allows you to shoot at any club event (additional shooting fees may be payable depending on the venue). It also includes affiliation fees to the Archery governing body – the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS).
This provides you with all the GNAS services, insurance at any GNAS affiliated event and a regular copy of the GNAS magazine “Archery UK”. The annual Adult subscription is £60.00 (inc GNAS fees) and the annual Junior subscription is £20 (inc GNAS fees). If you join partway through the subscription year a reduced fee may be payable. Please contact us for further information on how to join.
Becoming a member
To become a member of Hampstead Bowmen you will need to have a completed GNAS approved beginners’ course, or have been a member of another archery club.
Please contact us and one of our club members will get in touch to arrange an assessment prior to approving your membership. The assessment will usually take place at the Royal Free Recreation Centre on Saturdays. You will be asked to bring along proof of completion of a beginner’s course, or prior membership of another club.
Please note assessment must be arranged in advance and will take approximately one hour.
Already a member of another club?
Associate membership is open to any archer who is already a full member of another GNAS affiliated club. It allows you to shoot at any club event (additional shooting fees may be payable depending on the venue).
An Adult associate member pays only the Club subscription of £20 per year. An Junior associate member pays only the Club subscription of £10 per year. If you join part-way through the affiliation year, which runs concurrently with the Club’s subscription year, a reduced fee may be payable. Please contact us for further information.
Shooting as a Guest
We welcome archers who are members of other GNAS affiliated archery clubs to join us for our shooting sessions. We would appreciate if you can contact us in advance. Note that guests pay slightly higher session shooting fees.
NOTE: All fees are subject to annual review and may change from the prices listed.
