GOFUNDME 2025
This year the club has made a huge leap forward in membership and expansion of our offering to New Starters. But this is not without setup costs.So we launched a GoFundMe to cover costs of a new storage container (we lost our previous storage and outdoor facility in January). We start our new venture March 2nd 2025 and look forward to bringing Archery to more people than ever before.
If you can help please visit our GoFundMe "Storage facility for Ogmore Valley Archers": https://gofund.me/270b41c5 and share it with anyone who would be interested in helping our club.
Groups can also help by showing interest in our group Have-A-Go sessions, coming this spring.
