All Regionals

Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your session start time, in order to be registered and set-up in good time. Archers will not be able to access the main shooting hall until 45 minutes before the start of their session or, when the previous session has finished, whichever is later. It is recommended that archers wait until they are in the hall before setting up their equipment. There will be approximately 30 minutes from archers gaining access to the shooting hall to the start of their session, where all archers are ready sooner they will be given the option to start the session sooner.

Please Note: We cannot guarantee seating/chairs at any of the venues. If you are going to need a chair/seat between shooting please ensure you bring one with you.
