Olympic Games events: six ways to become an Olympian Archery This first featured as an Olympic sport at the Paris Olympics of 1900, and it was one of the first sports to involve women in the Olympics at the 1904 Games in St Louis. Forest Holidays run archery classes for guests at their sites in Strathyre or Argyll in Scotland, Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, Blackwood Forest in Hampshire - and of course Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, home of ace archer Robin Hood. Sessions (of between an hour and an hour and a half) cost between £15 and £21 per person, depending on the site and are available to adults and children from six years or from eight at some sites. Accommodation is in self-catering cabins in the forest, sleeping from two to 10; from £355 for a cabin sleeping four for three nights at the Argyll site (03330 110495; forestholidays.co.uk). Center Parcs also runs archery classes at all four of its villages; children must be over 10 to take part and sessions cost £19 per person for target archery and £26 for field archery (08448 267723; centerparcs.co.uk). Eaton Manor in Shropshire benefits from an Olympic-sized 70 metre (230ft) indoor range and guests at its self-catering properties can book archery sessions with a professional coach. From £20 per person for two hours, based on minimum of eight people (01694 724814; eatonmanor.co.uk). By Joanna Symons and Lizzie Porter
