AN ACTIVE Villages grant of £3,000 has fired up people in Halwill Junction to set up their own archery club in the Parish Hall.

Frank Bath, local resident and qualified archery coach, received the information from Torridge District Council's sports and leisure team, detailing the grant funding available through the Active Villages scheme and immediately set about creating the Junction Archers. The group has grown in the last six months to over 25 members.
