The Marshes Community Benefit fund are delighted to award a grant of £1,158 to City of Chester Archers
This project will help them offer more beginner course places by funding the training of two coaches and the hire of the Frodsham Leisure Centre sports hall where they run the courses for the duration of two courses.
This will allow the club to offer beginner course places to at least 15 people from the local area, and leave them with the additional trained coaches to run more courses in future as well as help continue to develop the skills of the archers after they have completed their courses.
City of Chester Archers is a friendly local archery club which attracts a lot of interest from people wanting to take up the sport. In order to join the club, beginners need to complete a 6-week course to meet the minimum standards of safety and competency expected by the national governing body Archery GB.
The object of the club is “To promote and encourage the sport of target archery”. In furtherance of this would be to develop and promote participation to archers of all eligible groups: Seniors including U25, U18, and archers with disabilities.
