Village fetes - setting up a ‘hav

I’ve been approached by our local village fete committee to see if our club would be up for running an archery ‘have-a-go’ at their fantastic annual May fair.

The club is well up for it, 8 or 9 of us are available and willing, of those one is a level 1 coach and at least one has completed the AGB Instructors Course. We’ve plenty of low powered kit in club stores - nothing above 12-14lb going out the door shooting at floor standing bosses set at 5yds and 10yds for kids and adults.

The thing I am battling with is getting any sense out of AGB towers as to whether we would be covered away from our regular site by their insurance and if not what we need to do to be covered.

My gut tells me we’d need to set up as per rules of shooting, I.e. 50yd overshoot and 25yd either side exclusion zone with appropriate barriers, signage, shooting line. This would be a pain but can be accommodated if absolutely necessary, although on the upside it would put us next to the beer tent :0


Has anyone else done this?

Does the AGB insurance provide cover? If not does anyone have links for independent insurers & ideas of premiums?

Any suggestions about making the experience maximum fun for the participants - balloons kind of go without saying :)


Many thanks all,


Karl
