GL1 Open Day

We are working with GL1 the Gloucester Leisure Centre to run an open day on Saturday 5th March. There will be lots of different activities to try, so why not take the family? The cost will be just £1, which will go to the Cancer Trust.

Archery will be represented from 2pm to 4pm, and will be in the main sports hall, that will be the real stuff plus Bambies/Arrows for the 5 – 8 year olds!

Why not combine a visit with the family? They can try archery and the other activities whilst you volunteer to help!

Those that enjoy it can then sign up for the weekly archery sessions at GL1 or at the club.
