About Us

South Moorlands Archery Club was founded in 1983. After moving to a number of different locations, we found our home at The Cheadle Academy (formerly Cheadle High School) in 1992 and have been there ever since.

We are a friendly, informal club with members from a wide range of ages and abilities. We are always happy to welcome new members, whether you’re an experienced archer or just keen to get into the sport.

If you are new to Archery, we run regular beginners’ courses and taster sessions. We have three qualified coaches as well as several experienced members who are always willing to help and advise both old and new members alike.

Whether you want to shoot at the Olympics, enter National competitions or just shoot for fun. That is fine with us, and we will help you on your way.

We are affiliated with Archery GB through the Staffordshire County Archery Association, and we are fully insured through Archery GB.
