It is recommended that close fitting clothing be warn suitable for the conditions ie outdoors. Long hair should be tied back.
Juniors may not enrol on the course unless they are aged 9 or above. As archery can be a dangerous sport juniors should be accompanied by an adult at all times, the adult does not have to be on the course. Any junior remains the responsibility of their parent or guardian.
Stratford Archers follows a strict safety code and any person found to be in breach of this may be asked to leave the course.
