# Newbury and Thatcham Archers
Newbury and Thatcham Archers (NATA) is an independent archery club serving the West Berkshire community since its establishment as Newbury Bowmen in 1957. Based in Newbury RG14 5AG, the club welcomes archers of all abilities who wish to develop their skills across multiple disciplines.
The club caters to archers interested in target shooting, field archery and clout shooting, offering a diverse range of practice environments and competitive opportunities. NATA serves both experienced archers seeking community and competition, and complete beginners looking to learn the sport through structured courses. The club meets regularly at various locations throughout the Newbury and Thatcham area, providing accessibility and variety for its membership.
What distinguishes NATA is its independence from national archery governing bodies such as GNAS, NFAS and BLBS. This autonomy allows the club to maintain exceptionally competitive membership fees whilst still delivering a full programme of weekly meetings, competitions and special events throughout the year. Members benefit from lower overheads and more flexible operations without sacrificing the quality of coaching, facilities or social engagement.
The club actively welcomes newcomers through dedicated beginner courses, making archery accessible to those without prior experience. Combined with its regular meeting schedule, varied shooting disciplines and strong community focus, NATA provides an inclusive, affordable alternative to formally affiliated clubs.
