Hinxworth Art Society

Art Society

It all started a long time ago with a few villagers and friends from the surrounding area, who decided to meet up once a week and paint.

The Hinxworth Art Society was born in 2002, when some established artists as well as some complete beginners got together. We currently have over 30 members of mixed abilities. Our regular meetings take place on Wednesdays from 10.00am to 1.00pm in the Village Hall in Francis Road. The meetings are very relaxed and friendly. The membership subscription includes a cup of coffee or tea and biscuits while we paint.

We use various types of media such as watercolour, pen and wash, pastel, oils and acrylics. Our library has a growing collection of books, magazines and DVD’s for members to borrow. When a tutor is not available, we use each other’s experience for tips and advice on how to achieve the best results.

We organise regular workshops with visiting artists as well as outings to shows and exhibitions.

The annual exhibition, usually held in April each year, is always a great success.

Hinxworth Archers

Hinxworth ArchersHinxworth Archery Club was formed in 1999 and is the most northerly archery club in Hertfordshire having a current membership of 57 (adults and juniors)

Archery is very much a family sport. Our members are aged from 10 to the over 65’s and it is not uncommon for three generations of the same family taking part on a regular basis.

A course for beginners is usually held in April/May each year and places on the course are restricted so they tend to fill up quickly. A certificate of competence is awarded to all those completing the course. Those wishing to join the club after their course are most welcome to apply for membership.

Hinxworth Archery Club is affiliated to the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) and Southern Counties Archery Society (SCAS) and is also active within the Hertfordshire Archery Association (HAA). The club has a number of nationally qualified coaches in residence.

The club meets 3 times per week Wednesday and Friday evenings and Sunday mornings. We also have an indoor facility for the winter months.
