Napier University Archery Club

Please note some changes to the calendar – no Beginner Training on Tuesday.
This is due to the fact that we moved all the equipment to North Merchiston Club (all available targets and all club bows and arrows).

Training for Novice / Beginner archers:
- Sunday 25th, 4 – 7 pm, North Merchiston Club

Training for Seniors only (to be confirmed):
- Tuesday 20th, 6 – 8 pm, Craiglockhart
- Thursday 22nd, 6 – 8 pm, Crailglockhart
Seniors will be able to shoot at these sessions as soon as we get stands for the 2 foam bosses stored at Craiglockhart.

As stated in a previous post, you must join the Sports Union to be a member of any Napier club, which cost £15 for the year.

We have just been told by the NSA that the deadline is 26th September. It is very important that you join by this date because the budget of the club, and therefore the quality of equipment and hours of training, depends on the number of members the club has at this date. As required by the NSA, you won’t be able to participate to any club activities (training, competitions…) after 26th September if you have not joined the Sports Union.

Once you get your Sports Union card, you must register online at http://www.montpeliers.co.uk/napier. You should select “archery” in the list of the clubs. That will allow the club to get money anytime you go to one of the NSA sponsor’s venue (http://www.montpeliers.co.uk/) using your card.

We can take care of your affiliation with the Sports Union for you if you bring £15 at a training session, ideally this Sunday (18th). If for any reason you want to do it yourself or can’t attend any training session by 26th September, let us know by email what your Sports Union card number is before the deadline.

Have a look at http://www.napierstudents.com/sports/membership-cards-2011.php for more information about Sports Union cards.

For non (yet) member, you can still join us at anytime, just come to any training session. Obviously, if you plan on joining the club we will be happy if you do it before 26th September for the reasons stated above, but this is not an obligation.

Sports Union cards are now being sold for £15 (for the whole year). If you are a member of our club, you must get one. That provides all members with insurance, affiliation with archery governing bodies, discounts at certain pubs and clubs and allows you to represent the University at competitions.

We can take care of your affiliation to the Sports Union for you. You just need to bring £15 at any training session. Otherwise, you can join through other clubs or directly at the NSA.

Note that the cards are currently being sold from 11.30am to 1.30pm and 3.00pm to 4.00pm only, Monday to Friday, at the NSA.

If you choose to buy your card directly from the NSA or through another club, please let us know your card number.

Please have a look at our Calendars page.

It now includes all planned training sessions. Note the different beginner, senior and for-all sessions.

You can now join Napier University Archery Club for the coming year!

You can join at any of the beginner or for-all session – see the calendar.

The membership for the whole year is £30 for Edinburgh Napier University Students, £35 for Napier Alumni and £40 otherwise.

We will have at least 2 training sessions a week with coaching and equipment provided – all covered by the membership. Beginners will have priority to use the club equipment.
