Burton Joyce Archers was formed in August 1998 with the co-operation of Burton Joyce Parish Council. Our shooting and storage facilities were arranged at The Poplars Sports Ground and the club was then affiliated to the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS). Our club has now grown to 60 members and we have beginners, intermediate and competitive archers with members aged from 5 to 80 years old. In 2013 we were awarded a grant which allowed us to purchase a second storage container enabling us to expand our facilities further to the benefit of all our members.
