Welcome back to Stony Brook for another great year!
As the administration changes, there will be more things to look forward to this year.

This year we have a new budgeting system and we are allowed to go to more events and buy more equipment without using our "main budget." we don't know how it works 100% yet but it sounds promising. Thank you USG and thank everyone for supporting the Stony Brook Company of Archers!

Pasted below is an e-mail sent out by our secretary, Mo, and it gives general information about the club -
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail us :)

1) Info -- old member can skip this
1.1) Our email, website, Facebook group:
 
Our email is sbucofa@gmail.com . Please do not email any of the e-board about club stuff unless it is something very personal.
Our website is http://stonybrookarchery.yolasite.com/ . I am trying to keep it as updated as possible but the way you get the most update is from our email.
Our facebook group is https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/2201637233/ . You will need our permission to join, we normally let anyone join. I will start posting things on there regularly.
 
1.2) No Fee, equipment, experience needed
 
We provide basic equipment and training. All you need to pay is for extra stuff like hoodies because USG does not fund that. If you have your own equipment, that is even better.
 
1.3) Meeting and Practice time + location:
 
Our meeting time is every Tuesday 7pm - 8:30pm. We tends to end early. It happens at Union 236 unless announced otherwise. You do not need to but is recommend to come to our meeting before going to practice.
We have off-campus practice every Thursday 7pm-10pm. Sign-up is required and it normally happens during the Tuesday meeting on a first come first serve bases with privilege for senior members and drivers  It happens at Smith point Archery Range and we normally meet up at SAC lobby at 6:50pm. We have limited membership and cars.
We have on-campus practice every Tuesday and Thursday 10am - 1pm on the campus recreation softball field. There is a map of that on our website. It is extremely weather dependent so you need to check your email for information about them.
In order to participate in any of our practice, you are required to read our safety guideline and sign a liability form. I have many copies with me most of the time. If you are under 18 and do not want your parent to sign the form, talk to us personally.
 
2) This week
 
Let's get to the meat of this email:
 
2.1) On Campus practice
 
It seems like the weather does not allow use to have a practice this week. Weather.com says that it will rain both Tuesday and Thursday. I will send out another email tomorrow with a more accurate weather and maybe message from Campus Rec on Tuesday.
 
2.2) Off Campus practice
 
Regular members can sign up via email. Note, only for our regular members, but can you please come to Tuesday's meeting if you're undergrad because there is some paperwork from the Campus Recreation. (If you are a regular, I should at least remember your name/nick name.) Other people must come on Tuesday to sign up during the meeting.
 
2.3) General Body Meeting
 
Regular members please come to sign the membership roster for Campus Recreation. That is only for undergrad since we are a USG funded club.
Otherwise, our president Brian Tien, will have an information session for about 15 minutes at the beginning of the meeting and give his so-called "Lecture" (it is just some basic form teaching), then the new members will be broken down into groups and the e-board, field marshals and senior members will teach all newbies the basics.
I have bought some oreo. I have no idea how many is in each box but I think I have about 100 oreos. It is a treat from me. The other e-board member may get things for you too.
BTW, our email list expanded to almost 3 times its original size. We may not have enough space in our room. Let's hope that we do.
 
 
Sorry for another long email, at least it is slightly shorter.
 
If you have any question, email us at sbucofa@gmail.com .
 
... I just found out that I can send this email to at most 500 people. Something new.--
