2024
Alsager Company of Archers
was formed back in
1974
from an Evening Class run at the
local Comprehensive School. Two Clubs were formed, the Town and the School Club.
The School Club provided ample supply of would be Robin Hoods and the club quickly
established itself as one of the top Junior/School clubs in the County and the region.
The Town Club has had it’s share of notable successes in the past with Sylvia Harris,
Matthew Gray, Mike Wheeler and Andrew Lewis and most recent Thomas Nairn, ALL
representing Great Britain.
Originally the club was based at the Comprehensive in Alsager, as it was known then,
but by 1994 we were finding a need for better facilities and more shooting time. So in
March of ‘94 we moved to the Cranberry Lane County Junior School.
With the aid of a Grant from the Foundation for Sports and Arts we were able to
purchase secure Storage plus at the same time updating our Beginner’s Equipment.
In 2008 the facilities were further extended when a Club house was brought.
The Club continues to grow with a very healthy membership of around 80 to more than
100 members in 2023.
Club is planning various events to celebrate this huge milestone in any Club’s life.
