OK I was wrong. I must be a moaning minnie.
Turns out S wants to carry on with his archery. Which means that I get to as well. After we’ve joined the local club, we can just turn up at any of the 3 sessions in the week and will get coaching through the club as and when we want it. We can even use club bows for £1 a go, until we feel keen enough (and rich enough) to buy our own gear.
Which is not a cheap proposition. About £100 for S to get a junior bow plus a few essentials. But for me it would be £200-£250! Gulp.
