Welcome to sport at DMU!
Please only buy the Sports Membership if you're ready to do the beginner's course, or become a full member! The Sports Membership is NOT automatic membership to the Archery Club!
If this is your first year - CLICK HERE and join the Official DMU Archery Club page!
We’re in our fifth year of official sports status here at DMU Archery, and we’re planning big!
We are embarking on a new division in the local BUTTS League for archery (that’s “Birmingham University Toxophily & Toucan Society”), joining the likes of Northampton, Lincoln, and those Leicester lot down the road. If you’re an experienced archer and make the cut, you’re welcome to compete with us and show DMU’s might!
However, if you’re new to archery, you’ll be busy learning the ropes in our beginner’s course, hosted and provided by our partner club LAOFAC. They have excellent coaches available, and all the kit is provided. Every archer only need take a course like this once in their life, so for a junior’s fee why not take the opportunity with us?
Your membership covers affiliation costs with the regional and county clubs and your ArcheryGB membership, a form of insurance that allows you to take part in competitions and shoot at any ArcheryGB club nationally – that’s a hell of a lot.
