Welcome to the Spring program.  This is the most delightful season to be active and thanks to all the wonderful leaders, we have a very exciting program filled with walks, cycles and paddles.  There are various kayaking weeks and a walking week at Talbingo, all of which sound like fun.  Don’t forget to look right to the end of the program as there are several advance notices for trips next year.  Make the most of the spring weather and enjoy whatever activities you choose to participate in.

This year the AGM will be held on Saturday 19 November at the Rhododendron Gardens at Mt Pleasant in Wollongong.  The program will follow the usual format with morning tea, election of the new committee, walk and barbecue lunch.  See full details of the program for the day in the newsletter.

All committee positions will be declared vacant at the AGM and members are encouraged to nominate.  Job descriptions for all positions are available from the Secretary or any committee member.

The positions are:

President

Secretary

Treasurer

Program Manager

Newsletter Editor

Membership Secretary

Activities Recorder

Training Officer

Publicity Officer

The Christmas Party will be on Friday 16 December and again will be held at Dapto Leagues Club.  They have a beautiful function room and it is always a terrific evening with lots of good food and great company.  Come along and have some fun.  Details on how to make bookings are in the newsletter.

I look forward to seeing you at both events.
