CLUB INSURANCE : BOD Ed Hanson brought to the clubs attention a requirement of our new ASA insurance policy.
Release forms are to be obtained by any person, member or guest, entering the club grounds for any purpose. Forms will be available in a book at the clubhouse and a regular collection of signed forms will be collected and stored by volunteer Bill Guiffredo. Any minors are to be listed on the release by parents or guardians. All members must comply and are encouraged to inform guest and visitors of this important form.
Also, the guest book is a mandatory by-law item that Ed Hanson will be maintaining. Ed sees the inclusion of guest emails as a means to form a list of persons we can contact about upcoming shooting events.
Members are to sign a release form on their next visit to the club, or, request a form be sent to them for their signature.
The release form is not optional but a requirement, for club on-site participation.
Ed and Dave Wilkinson are looking further into Algonquin`s insurance situation

*BE ALERT----SAFETY FIRST
As an archery club, we are very fortunate to have an Indoor Range and 2 outdoor courses on our property: 3-D & Field, . All members need to remember that multiple archers, can be on any of the courses, at any given time.
** SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST
Also, for your awareness, you may see hunters on the property. Do not be alarmed, as these are club members that have permission to bow hunt deer and turkey.
Have fun, Stay Alert, and be aware of other shooters at all times.
