No, I've been there for a few years and want to introduce it to Accrington / Hyndburn. As I live in the area, just thought there would be some interest.

Oh how wrong I was.

It might be worth contacting the local press as well, to reach a wider audience, who hopefully might be interested.

Good luck.

It just means that people from this area will will have to travel for Archery lessons. OK if you have a car, only a 20 minute drive - but not good if you rely on public transport.

Well funny you should say that - I contacted the Bee (Radio satation) BBC Radio Lancashire and the Local Telegraph.

Both the BBC and the Telegraph are interviewing me at the club grounds and will take photos, and produce a video.

Hopefully the Olympics will highten the interest in this sport.

We train over 60 new beginners a year thgroughout the county and as a club we are growing and winning many competations.
