About us
Founded 1974
On the shooting line
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
know
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
(A
Container
-
see
photos
below on it’s siting) plus at the same time updating our Beginner’s Equipment.
Club
continues
to
grow
with
a
very
healthy
membership
of
around
70
members
and
early
in
2008
the
facilities
were
further
extended when a Club house was brought - check out the photos taken on the day when the Club house arrived.
