Directions to the Chapel (map)

Access to the Chapel is from Porters Park Drive, Shenley.  It’s an unmarked road between Juniper Gardens and The Lawns.  Turn into drive just past chapel and park at the rear.  It’s on the left side of the road when coming from Radlet Lane.
Directions to outdoor field at Highfield  (map)

There are two ways onto the shooting field:

From Hixberry Lane
Drive down Hixberry Lane to what appears to be a dead end, just before the end turn right through grey large gates and sharp left onto the track around the allotments , past ‘Earthworks’ , follow the track right round the 3 sides of the allotments (track appears to dead-end again after second right turn  but keep on going until you see a grey shipping container, this is our storage …) turn left here past the container and through gates into field and drive to far end. This entrance is usually open, but may get locked by the allotment owner.  Email if you want more detailed instructions.

Do not come down Hixberry Lane from Barley Mow Lane side (as directed by sat. nav.) as it is impassable.

From  Highfield Road
Turn in at the gate in Highfield Lane, pictured below.  The post code of the adjacent house is AL4 0RE. The gate will usually be locked, but club members can use either their key or the combination lock.  If you are a guest, email for the combination.  Please close the gate after yourself.  Drive to the end of the track, where it bends to the left onto the car park.

The field captain has a mobile phone that you can ring if you are having difficulty finding us.  (07906 234 038)

Please note that this number is only monitored while we are setting up and will be switched off once we start shooting.  

It  will receive texts but voice mails will not be retrieved.

 

Beginners using club kit should send a text to let the field captain know you are coming so we can set the field up appropriately and bring the correct bows etc.
