LASSWADE ARCHERY CLUB
Lasswade Archery Club was founded in 1979, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. We are affiliated with Archery GB and Scottish Archery, where we fall under the Eastern Area.
​
The club attracts members from Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and as far south as the Borders. We welcome archers of all abilities, whether a beginner, novice or experienced archer, children over 10 years of age to octogenarians, and archers with disabilities.
​
The club welcomes all bow-styles; we currently have members who shoot Olympic Recurve, Compound, Barebow, English Longbow and occasionally American Flatbow and Mongolian Horse Bow. We run beginners' courses and regular coaching sessions, and take part in Archery GB's Range Returners scheme.
​​
Lasswade Archery Club promotes and expects a non-judgemental and supportive attitude from members, and for members to be respectful of each other. We expect members to commit to abide by our Code of Conduct and to Archery GB's regulations, Rules of Shooting and codes of conduct, to ensure the club is a safe and welcoming place for all archers.
​
The club is honoured to have been awarded Inclusion Club of the Year at the 2026 Scottish Archery Recognition Awards. To have been recognised as a club that is committed to inclusion is a wonderful achievement, and we are really proud of everyone at the club who ensures a warm welcome and who supports all of their archery clubmates. Inclusivity is very important to the club and discrimination has no place in our sport.
​
We're also registered on LEAP Sports Scotland's directory of clubs. LEAP is Scotland’s LGBTIQ+ sports charity. They work for greater inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and other diversely identifying people in sport, and against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics, in sport and physical activity.
