Please Note this a remote woodland in Suffolk, it is about 1 Mile from a road, and some time only accessible by foot across a field (about 1/2 mile), please read the full description of the place, it may be worth a visit before bringing under 18's, just to make sure its not too wild for them.

We do have a rule of no rubbish to be burnt on the fire during time people are cooking or using the fire area for food drink preparation, Please respect this.

Must remember to bring me bow and arrows too

Just a quick note, for ALL attenders, Archery and Air Guns is only for "REGULARS", this means that if you have only been a couple of time it in the last 12 to 18 months this is not regular, it is Occasional, please dont bring them and expect to use them.

just to remind you of the condition's of this activity.

Air Guns/Archery
As a Bonus for the Regular Attendees to Monthly Meets will be able to use Air Guns (Non FAC - under 12flb only) for Target use only in a designated area, they will be subject to Chronograph before use ,and any decision on the use of Air Guns and Range will be final, the right to refuse the use of the gun or any person using a gun.

Archery will be available as a Bonus activity for Regulars Only on the same Basis as Air guns, Max Bow power 30lb@28" unless you are a Full Member of a Archery Club, and a member of a Field Archery Govening Body such as NFAS, GANS EFAA, This will be checked so bring membership cards, Target Piles only No Broad Heads ect. We have a boss and now have two 3D Archery Targets. No Cross Bows are allowed at this point in time.


The Archery Targets are ONLY for use with Bows/arrows, They are NOT to be used for anything else.

IF YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR ATTENDEE TO THE MONTHLY MEET PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN SHOOT... IT IS ONLY FOR THE REGULARS. - this would mean more the 6 times in 12 months

Please inform myself if you intend on bringing an Air Gun/ Bow prior to arrival.

Any person not adhering to these conditions may be asked to stop the activity.


Thank you for bringing up the subject Chris. :)
