British Wheelchair Archery Association - Bwaa Description
The British Wheelchair Archery Association is here to help promote the sport of para-archery and assists with all aspects of the sport from grassroots information to elite level training.
New archers are encouraged to join a local archery club to receive coaching and gain experience. Once the archer has their own equipment they are encouraged to attend a archery training weekend at Stoke Mandeville.
Our Training weekends number approximately 6 between October and April where expert coaching and advice is given by dedicated archery coaches and also provides access to physiotherapists and classifiers to ensure that you can get the best out of your archery. All disabled archers are welcome whether a novice or a seasoned pro.
Training weekends also provide an opportunity to network with other para-archers from around the country, make new friends and also lots of new links into the sport of archery which are invaluable. You will often end up rubbing shoulders with members of the Paralympic GB archery squad and their coaches too.
Members of our association also help introduce new people to archery through helping out at the Inter-Spinal Unit Games and the Junior Championships which are held annually at Stoke Mandeville.
We also have an amazing annual tournament in June that gives our membership the opportunity to experience what it is like to shoot against some of the World’s best para-archers, including our very own Paralympic GB archery team. It also incorporates our National Championships too and is a great event to attend.
If you are interested in finding out more do please contact us.

November camp update. I'm going to SM early next week to resolve 2 issues. A risk assessment for the bowls arena and hanging safety netting. If they are resolved then Sandra will notify that bookings are open. I will be handling the bookings, but I don't possess Pauline's background knowledge. So bookings on the form which will be on the website. If you can't find it email me on BWAACoaching@talktalk.net. Finally we will be circulating our Assistance Dogs Policy in response to Serco's new booking conditions. Bob
CANCELLED!!
Sorry folks, the training weekend is cancelled. I have not been able to solve the issues and the accommodation we have been offered is just not suitable for what we need. So on this basis I have made the hard decision.
I know you will be disappointed but please do not take it out on me as it is not my fault, it is the venues and I have done my level best to sort the issues out for you.
... Please let me know if you need any pre-paid money returned. I will send emails out to those I have addresses for.
Many thanks
