Bookings are open now!

Duck Again? is a daylong event serving the archery community in Lough Devnaree - but open to all in the Kingdom! Doors will open at 8:30am to facilitate early arrivals from the train station - please check the train schedule well in time to make your travel plans. We will have snacks available and will be serving a hearty lunch.

Pre-booking is essential.

Location

The event will take place at the Jim Kirwan Scout Hall in Clara The site is moderately accessible, with some bumpy doorways. Parking is available on site.

Planned Activities

We’ll have target shooting at the venue itself.

If you, or your friends or family, are interested in archery in the SCA, this one-day event is an ideal time to come along and have a look! We will be wearing medieval clothing (garb), but don’t worry if you don’t have anything that looks historical. We are happy to lend you clothing for the day if you let us know on the booking form.

There’s also a good spot to hang out by the fire and engage in Arts & Sciences if you’re not into shooting, or just accompanying an archer. Tea, coffee, and the odd snack will be available through the day.
