On the night bring a light snack to share for supper after the AGM..
The Club's Emergency Beacons - Spot
The committee has been reviewing the cost and usage of the two MVB Spot II devices : Annual Registration for our Spot devices has recently increased to $245:
Spot I registration has been paid for another year expiry July 2018 and Spot II is due for registration renewal early September 2017.
It has been decided that we replace one Spot ( Spot II ) for a ResqLink PLB, $349 from Adventure Gear Albury (just $105 more than the re-registration fee for Spot 2)
There is no annual registration fees with the PLB just a once off purchase - this decision would result in a saving to the Club of $980 over the next 4 years.
Upon phoning Spot we were offered an annual discounted registration fee of $115 US
We would like to offer to re-register the Spot II at this price and offer the exclusive personal use of it for 12 months to any club member willing to pay $115 USD
After 12 months . Renegotiating would have to be done - please email Peter Presutti vk2cim@gmail.com .to register your interest.
If multiple people are interested we will draw a name out of a hat!
Get Well Wishes from the Club
Current President Hans Kaspers is recovering well in hospital from recent surgery. Im sure everyone wishes him a speedy recovery.

grooms the snow for cross country skiers - we are seriously spoilt at Falls Creek - arguably one of the greatest xc locations in the world because of the heaps of gently undulating terrain.
