Eccles Archery Club: EAC

 

Founded in 1953, our club is on the the western edge of Greater Manchester, very close to the M60/M62 junction 11.

 

We are affiliated to the Lancashire Archery Association (LAA), the Northern Counties Archery Society (NCAS) and Archery GB (previously know as The Grand National Archery Society, GNAS).

 

Our grounds are secure with 24-7 access for members. Recurve, compound, longbow and novice archers are welcome to join, where 'novice archers' must have successfully completed a beginners course run by EAC or another Archery UK  affiliated club.

 

If you are interested in attending one of our beginners courses, get the details here.

  • The clubhouse has two loos, one with disabled access.

  • Our 12y indoor range is for practicing technique and holding beginners classes.
