# Southport Archers
Southport Archers is a welcoming archery club based at Sandy Brook Farm on the A570 towards Ormskirk, serving the Southport community and surrounding areas. The club caters to archers of all skill levels and backgrounds, from complete beginners to experienced competitors seeking to refine their technique.
The club operates year-round with regular Sunday afternoon meetings, though members enjoy flexible access to the shooting range whenever they wish. This combination of structured club sessions and open-access facilities makes it ideal for those wanting both community engagement and independent practice time.
What distinguishes Southport Archers is its genuine emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility. Rather than catering exclusively to elite athletes, the club deliberately welcomes people from all walks of life, creating a supportive environment where newcomers feel encouraged to participate. The small, friendly membership fostered this approachable atmosphere, making it particularly suitable for those hesitant about joining established sports clubs.
The club maintains professional credentials through affiliation with Archery GB, the UK's national governing body, and the Lancashire Archery Association, ensuring members benefit from recognised standards and competitive opportunities if desired. This official recognition provides legitimacy whilst the club's relaxed, inclusive ethos removes barriers to entry.
Prospective members can contact Andy Yarnell directly by phone or email to learn more about joining or visiting the range.
