Saturday marked an exciting milestone for Bridlington Bay Archers as the club welcomed visitors to explore and enjoy its new practice ground, set within acres of peaceful, tree‑lined grassland behind Hilderthorpe School. The location offers a convenient and attractive base for the club’s experienced archers, enthusiastic juniors, and anyone in the community who’s curious about trying this engaging and rewarding sport.
