LONG EATON FIELD ARCHERS
Long Eaton Field Archers are a field archery club, run entirely by volunteers. We have about 100 members, mostly from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and neighbouring counties. We put on club shoots for our members, open shoots for other clubs, beginners courses and ongoing coaching and more, all in a wood near Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
