What is the Club’s Hot Weather Policy?
If the Fire Danger Rating in the Mount Lofty Ranges Fire Ban District for a shooting day is listed as EXTREME or CATASTROPHIC, the Club’s activities for that day are cancelled. (Coaching course sessions affected will be re-scheduled and participants notified.)
Please check the CFS website for current (and the next day’s) fire ban information.
Are there any restrictions on the use of crossbows at HILLS ARCHERS?
The use of crossbows is limited to those which comply with the maximum weight limit prescribed for Target Crossbow (i.e. 44 kg) (See also the ARCHERY SA website pertaining to crossbows in SA.)
Are dogs permitted?
Your canine friend is welcome, but must be under (very) effective control or on a lead when archery is in progress.
What restrictions apply to smoking?
In the interests of promoting and maintaining a healthy environment, HILLS ARCHERS is a non-smoking venue.
As a Good Sports Club, while we are there, the entire grounds are smoke-free (this includes the use of all electronic cigarettes/vapes) in the interests of maintaining a great environment and by disconnecting unhealthy activity from healthy sport.

The Club caters for cashless transactions….. why?
It’s quick and easy – no need to have to arrange to catch up with the Treasurer.
Can be completed at any time of the day or night, when it suits the individual.
Payment via debit/credit card.
Suitable for the PC, iPad/tablet, iPhone/Android mobile phone.
Event entry and Membership payments are instant and, for members, the member record is updated immediately,
Errors are minimised and the information provided is legible,
It is transparent, secure and payments don’t go “missing” – it is the online equivalent of a proper paper trail.
Email notification is sent to the Club the instant a payment is completed.
Our volunteer Club Officers are not loaded up with additional (and time-consuming) work.
It is seamless and reduces the operating costs of the Club.
It just makes sense and is COVID-Safe!
Can I travel to Lenswood using public transport?
Alas, no – the closest public transport is a bus to Lobethal – and it is not available on weekends. (The alternative? – a friend /family / flexicar / Uber / Ola.)
Why does the membership/registration system want you to create an account?
Email is a unique identifier and, in combination with a password, is a good way for a site to verify that it is dealing with a real person. Websites want to avoid spammers and bots. By using some unique identifiers such as email, in conjunction with a user-created password, it can make it more difficult for spammers to achieve their goals.
