Annual General Meeting 2020

July 25th, 2020|0 Comments

Thanks to all who attended our Annual General Meeting on the 19th of May. It was a last minute location change from online to offline thankfully and held in the beautiful relaxing Jingili Water Park. A great turn out for the event almost 30 people showed up, a new record? Perhaps it was the location or maybe the free pizza enticed a few.

Points of discussion included less walks as usual this was down to issues with the permits office and of course COVID-19 shutting down all activities and parks for a time. However there is a group of members currently in talks with Kakadu about how we can best support each other. Also the committee offered complimentary 2020-21 membership for all members who signed up before March 28th

In recognition of the fabulous commitment given by the club walk leaders, the committee received a $100 voucher kindly donated by The NT General Store. A draw was held that resulted in Simon Townsend winning the voucher. To note the NT General Store offered prizes for events held during the year.

We voted in the new committee
