Welcome to Croesoswallt Archers

Croesoswallt Archers welcomed 46 teenage students from the Summer Course for Teens at the English Language Centre in Chester for a special archery taster session on Friday 24th July.

The students, aged between 13 and 17, represented a wide range of nationalities and were accompanied by three of their teachers. For most, it was their first opportunity to try archery.

Shooting at a distance of 10 yards, the students, divided up into teams of three, took part in a fun six-end competition. The session was held in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with plenty of encouragement from teachers and the Croesoswallt members running the session, with friendly rivalry between the eight teams.

With lots of buzz and excitement, everyone enjoyed the archery. At the end of the competition, gold, silver and bronze medals were presented to the members of the three highest-scoring teams, with plenty of beaming smiles from the delighted medal winners.

Following their afternoon of archery, the group continued their visit to the area with a trip to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We were delighted to welcome the students and hope they enjoyed their introduction to archery.
