Welcome to Croesoswallt Archers

After nearly five decades based at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Gobowen, near Oswestry, our club has successfully relocated to a new site at the British Ironwork Centre.

The decision to move followed the hospital’s plans for expansion, which prompted the club to look for a larger space that could better accommodate its growing membership and activities.

In early 2020, after assessing several potential locations, the club approached Clive Knowles, owner of the British Ironwork Centre. Mr Knowles was enthusiastic about the proposal and generously offered the use of a nearby field for the club’s new base.

Although the field showed great promise, it required extensive preparation before it could be used. Mr Knowles supported the project by constructing an access road, a car parking area, and a solid base for equipment containers. Club members also organised working parties to clear the site of debris - including pallets and tyres - transforming the area within a few months into a first-class target archery field.

The new site now provides ample space for members and guests, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in the club’s long history.
