About us

Chelmsford Tudor Rose Archers are affiliated to the Essex County Archery Association (ECAA), Southern Counties Archery Society (SCAS) and the sports governing body The Grand National Archery Society/ Archery GB (GNAS).

Chelmsford Tudor Rose Archers welcome new members of all ages, at present we have 48 members, 32 are senior members (adults) and 16 are juniors. Our members shoot the three main archery disciplines, these are recurve bow, compound bow and longbow.

We cater for all archers, both experienced and those that have never picked up a bow before, from the age of 8 upwards. Archery is a family sport and we are fortunate to have a number of family members within the club that makes for a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere

During the summer we shoot at Writtle College sports ground, Club days being Wednesday evening and Sunday. In the winter we shoot mainly indoors in the excellent Sports Hall of The Sandon School, just to the east of Chelmsford - Club nights are Tuesdays and Fridays from 6.45pm – 9.00pm.

The Junior section is fully integrated into the club and provide a lead with their enthusiasm for taking part in County and National competitions. The club has Junior Outdoor and Indoor National Champions in their respective age groups, and one of these has also represented Great Britain in 2008.

The Club takes part in various Postal Leagues during the year. In the summer we shoot the Essex Albion League. During the winter we take part in the Essex ‘Andy Harris’ league.

Club History

 Chelmsford Tudor Rose Archers was formed in 1990 from the amalgamation of the existing three clubs based in the area: Chelmsford Company of Archers, Tudor Rose Archery Club and Marconi Archery Club. Chelmsford Company of Archers had been established in 1971, and through the 1970’s and 80’s had a strong membership enthusiastic to provide help in the form of organizes judges and coaches around the county, with the juniors in particular making a name for themselves on the shooting field. Tudor Rose had been formed in 1987 to utilise the dedicated shooting field at a local golf club, with the inspiration for the name taken form the location adjacent to Henry VIIII’s Beaulieu Palace. TRAC became the natural home for the unfortunate members of the other two clubs, when their shooting grounds were lost to development and over run by footballers and cricketers. The formal union enabled us to benefit from the best facilities and experience to develop archery in the Chelmsford area. Latterly we have suffered again from loss of grounds, and after a prolonged search we are now firmly established at the Writtle, where we are proud to host the Essex County FITA championships in July.
