The Pambula Beach gathering (at the Big 4 - Holiday Hub) was really good and again extremely well organised.  We were at the Inaugural Meeting as well as at the 1st Annual AGM at Echuca last year so we can vouch that the Office Bearers have maintained their very high standard that they set right at the start: Not surprisingly they were re-elected unopposed.

 

I think there were over 150 vans this year, so this very success probably poses problems for future gatherings, as the number of venues that can take that number (or more) is quite limited.  Also the organising to cater for such a number, put quite a burden on the Committee: it must be like organising a Business Seminar (but fortunately without the Accommodation concerns, aside from venues, that is).   It may be that eventually the gatherings devolve to State level.   Anyway, that is something for the Committee and Members to sort out in due course, but the issue was flagged by the Secretary, Brendon.

 

No doubt you may receive advice from the Committee about the Meeting in due course (if you haven't already), so the following information is unofficial, as it were. There were a couple of matters dealt with at the meeting and these were resolved unanimously; 

1. Future AGM to be held any time between the 1st April and 30th June each year (to give some flexibility) 

2. The Club Membership limited to Prospective (i.e. paid deposit), Current and Former Owners of A'vans (i.e.  NOT Chalet owners).

 

Your Web page was favourably referred to and welcomed at the Meeting and mention made of the CD-Rom for the 2/3rd of Members that do not have email.  A flier of A-Round Oz was available.

In all it was another good AGM.   Pity you couldn't have made it.
