FUTURE NATIONAL MEETINGS

 

2010 – Adelaide
2011 – Newcastle
2012 – Hobart, Tasmania
2013 – Canberra or Qld

At the Delegates Meeting following this years’ event, the future of National Meetings was discussed at length, and it is pleasing to see that the next 4 years have been taken up by different host centers.

Also discussed were economizing, and the reducing of classes and trophies.  Members were asked to put personal situations aside and look at the continuing future of the event.
A special sub committee has been formed to present a proposal in the very near future, to all participating centers for consideration. From feedback received, recommendations will be taken to a Special Delegates Meeting to be held in Sydney in August this year.  This will enable SA as organizers for next year’s event, time to make the necessary changes.
