West Windsor Archers was formed
in 1970, with the actor David Niven as President.
Vice-Presidents were the publisher Hamish Hamilton and Don Stamp, a
renowned figure in the world of archery. Unfortunately, they are all
now deceased. Brian Vincent, now a lifetime Honorary member, was the
driving force behind the formation of WWA. The club was initially called
New Windsor Archers, and functioned as a section of the New Windsor
Community Association, shooting at their indoor premises and various
outdoor sites. Eventually, wishing to have full control over club affairs,
we left NWCA in 1977. The club was renamed West Windsor Archers and
was more permanently based at Dedworth Middle School.
The next few years were very successful, membership and increasing skill
earned County selection for several members, and a place in the England
team for a couple. The club also won the "Top Berkshire Club" trophy
in 1982/3/4 and most of the larger team trophies in Southern England.
Membership and performance declined during the end of the 80s and early
90s and increased to over 50 members and a thriving junior section during
the mid-late 90s.
WWA run a number of 'have-a-go' and corporate days. Please contact us
