Welcome to Croesoswallt Archers

Start Archery Week - a nationwide celebration of the sport - saw clubs and providers across the UK open their doors to welcome people of all ages and abilities to experience archery for the first time.

In Shropshire, Croesoswallt Archers marked the occasion by organising the Shropshire Schools Archery Festival, with support from Archery GB. The event proved to be a great success, bringing together more than 70 children from schools across the county.

For many of the participants, it was their first opportunity to try archery, guided by qualified coaches and enthusiastic volunteers. The festival provided a fun and friendly environment where pupils could learn new skills, take part in friendly competition, and discover more about the sport.

Adding to the excitement, the young archers were treated to a special demonstration by Max Oakley, Junior Shropshire County Champion, who showcased his skills and inspired the next generation of archers.
