Fixtures

Our venue for outdoor shooting is The Brent Junior School, London Road, Stone, Dartford, Kent, DA2 6BA (about half a mile east of junction 1b of the Dartford Tunnel approach road).

Weekend outdoor shooting on Saturdays and Sundays commences 3rd April until the end of September for target shooting and Club events. There will be two available start times on days when it is not a Club event or League shoot: 10:30am with sighters at 11:00am for those who want to shoot longer rounds, and 1:30pm with sighters at 2:00pm for those who cannot shoot in the mornings. No other start times will be allowed and only the later start time may be available on days when there is a beginners course. The field will also be open on bank holidays throughout the summer season for target shooting (times as for weekends).

Weekday evening shooting on Wednesdays and Thursdays commences 5th May until the end of August for practice and bow tuning when the field will be open from 6:30pm until dusk.

The field will also be available all weekdays and evenings during the school summer holiday, except for 3-5 & 9-12 Aug, subject to the availability of key holders.

Visitors are always welcome, but must have current GNAS membership.
Non-members will be expected to pay a 'green fee' of Ł3 for weekends and Ł2 for weekdays. No charge for evening practice sessions.

Whilst every effort will be made for the field to be open at the published times, there may be occasions when the key holders are late or fail to turn up. In that event, phone local key holders Del Bumstead, Brian Kember or Shaun Petri who, if available, will come to open up.

No archer is allowed to shoot alone. There must be at least two archers present at all times and any juniors must be supervised by an adult archer.

GNAS dress code applies to all Club competition and League shoots, smart casual may be worn at other times.

Please use the outer car park as parking is not allowed on the school playground.

Please note - ALL archers are expected to help in setting out and putting away the equipment. Archers arriving after the stated assembly time will not be allowed to shoot.

Please see notice board to confirm details and reserve a place.
Note - times quoted are the latest for assembly, allowing 30 mins to set up before sighters, or a little longer for certain Club tournaments.
