Sports and Societies

Sports

There are currently ten sports clubs under the HAC Sports banner. Members of these clubs represent the HAC throughout the year on the sports fields and are drawn primarily from the veteran membership and the active Regiment. Uniquely, however, members of the public are welcome to join these clubs too - if you are interested in finding out more, see each club's details below or complete the enquiry form.

Societies

Veteran and active members of the Company are also eligible to take part in our many societies. Through regular events, these societies provide further opportunities for veteran and active members to develop their camaraderie and thus remain advocates of the Regiment throughout wider society. Educational lectures and networking events further develop members' understanding of the HAC's unique standing throughout history.

Archery Club

The HAC received its Royal Charter from Henry VIII on 25 August 1537, when Letters Patent were received by the Overseers of the Fraternity or Guild of St George authorising them to establish a perpemal corporation for the defence of the realm to be known as "The Fraternity or Guild of Artillery of Longbows, Crossbows and Handgonnes".

We have all walked past Scarlet, the stone Rover, at the top of the stairs for years. But who amongst you have ever fired a longbow on Artillery Garden?

Boston Association

Established in March 1948, the Boston Association maintains the link between the Honourable Artillery Company and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts (AHAC).

The Association’s primary activity is in the organisation of the Company’s official visits to Boston and assists the AHAC with their visits to London, both of which occur on a ten-year cycle. The Association also holds numerous social functions in furtherance of this purpose, often in line with national holidays in North America, such as Thanksgiving. More broadly, the Association is the link with other formations in the USA and Canada and so helps coordinate additional visits and communications between the members of the HAC and others in North America.
