** IMPORTANT MESSAGE
FOR MEMBERS **

Please be reminded that you MUST carry your Green Dragon membership card and display your car badge at all times when you visit the shooting field. Knebworth Estates staff will now check these regularly. Also remember that access for archery members is limited to the huts, the shooting field, and the toilets. We do not have open access to the park itself.

 
We shoot in the summer (well, all year round if you're hardy enough!) in the fabulous location of Knebworth Park and for the indoor season, we shoot at The Odyssey Sports Centre in Old Knebworth Lane. For more information, please follow the links or contact our club .

Advance notice of Park closures: 23rd/24th June 2012 due to Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert; 5th-10th July 2012 due to Sonisphere. Note that the Park may also be closed on additional days before and after these events for setting up/clearing up. We will keep you informed as soon as we have further details.

A record number of dragons turned up for the annual Frostbite shoot on New Year's Day - it was actually quite mild though a bit muddy underfoot. Some pictures here courtesy of Mike H.
