Today, with the assistance of Mike Spare, the County Chairman, Nottinghamshire welcomes a new club to the county – Belvoir Archers. Belvoir Archers have their own ground at Barnstone, a small village in the south of the county. First arrows were announced by the whistle of the County Chairman, which was followed by a Founder Members Shoot – a closed club handicap National Round which was won by Sue Haynes who shot a very respectable 493.

Belvoir Archers currently has 12 members shooting a mixture of Longbow, Recurve and Compound Bow styles.
