Please go to the link below, and read my concern. THIS POST IS OPEN TO, AND REQUIRES THE ATTENTION OF EVERYONE.

It has come to my attention that the club has not yet met its bear quota for this year (or any other year as a matter of fact). As a proud member of the University of York Archery Club, I feel that the name and reputation of the club is at stake regarding this issue. Long has it been known that most clubs learn and continue to improve their knowledge of bear anatomy, whilst I feel that York is being left in the dark ages. Let me give you an example:
It was two years ago. I was walking through Dalby Forrest listening to my favourite Joy Division track on my iPod. All of a sudden a grizzly bear jumped on my back and starting trying to chew my neck. My first thought was that I'd been struck by a nymph, but the fact that they're mythical, coupled with the bad breathe and warm fur of the beast brought me to my senses. As you can appreciate most people haven't had the kind of training necessary to deal with this kind of situation. As I can appreciate, York doesn't have the facilities necessary for me to impart my knowledge to the rest of the club. So anyway, I had to throw him from off of my back, perform a bicycle kick to the throat, and finish it off with my favourite Van Damme move; the splits followed by an upper cut to the groin. Later, biopsies and lumbar punctures revealed that the bicycle kick was fatal (unfortunately for me, who had already punched the poor creature in the groin).
The dark side of my story being that, when I got back to my favourite Joy Division song, it had already finished, and the iPod was on shuffle. A traumatic experience I would hate for anyone else to have to live through. (Yes, I came close to ending it there and then, fortunately I hadn't remembered 'down the lane, not across the street').
The price of £535 may seem like a lot to some people. But can you really put a price on Joy Division? You must also remember, there is a further 1.5% VAT to come of that yet.
This is no trifling expense. It's not a wasted exploit on a fun-sized pseudo trophy. You must all take into consideration the fact that the bear will be available for dates, and fancy dress parties. If people wished it, we could even operate a bear escort service. But for the most part it will help with the training of archers to fight against the loss of Joy Division. Remember, prevention is better than the cure.
P.S. Joy division are also better than The Cure.

.. out jumps a bear, so you spend the next 10 mins setting up your bow putting everything on it and meanwhile, the bear has happily knawed off your arms! (another beautiful example of why the compound is better 
... however if you're me... i get the compound out, then spend the next 5 mins trying to remember what on earth i'm meant to do with the thing! lol
