Introduction to Fox Archers:
We are a small family friendly archery club with members aged from 10 to the late seventies
We started back in 1975 in the North West Kent village of Kemsing. It was one night sitting in the Kemsing pub The Fox and Hounds, that our founding club members decided on the name Fox. Back then the club ground was the Antony Roper school in the nearby village of Eynsford. From these humble beginnings the club grew, and in 1996 we moved to its current location of St. Michael's School in the picturesque village of Otford. An indoor venue was initially added in the very cramped conditions of New Ash Green Village hall then for a few years at what is now Knole Academy before finally moving to our current venue.
Our summer practice days are on a Sunday from 9:30am, on a Saturday afternoon from 1:00pm and also on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm onwards during the summer holidays at St Michaels School in Otford. In the winter we shoot indoors each Sunday from 9.30am at The New School at West Heath in Sevenoaks.
In recent years we have made great strides in strengthening our coaching team which now numbers 6 and this has attracted archers to come to the club for coaching.
