    Description
    The Archery Club was formed during 1977. On 25 July, 1977, the Executive Committee of the University of New South Wales Sports Association discussed the Draft Constitution for the proposed Archery Club to allow it to become a member club of the Association. It was to be raised at the Sports Association General Committee Meeting on 7 September, 1977, and appears to have been approved then or shortly after. By 27 February, 1978, the Club was an official member of the Sport Association, so it must have been approved prior to this date.
