The Quick Release is the SBC's newsletter and has seen many changes over the years. In 2020, with the rising costs of printing and mailing a paper edition, the newsletter was converted to an email format, available only to registered members. In October 2022, the more traditional version of the Quick Release was reinstated in the form of a PDF that can be downloaded and printed if desired.
