The History of our Club was launched at the AGM in 2005. Copies are available at a cost of $5. Copies will be available at our coffee morning on March 16 .
Subscriptions ($10 per year, or $5 for short term visitors up to 6 months) for 2009 are due unless you have already paid (eg at the AGM).
Club members are included in the ANU's public liability insurance cover for recognised Club activities. Non-members (guests or spouses who occasionally accompany a member) are NOT covered for any off-campus Club activity. The committee has, on advice from the ANU legal office, taken out public liability insurance cover for 2009. A levy of $5-$10 per event will be payable for such guests with a maximum of $30 per calendar year for any individual. It is essential that all participants in off-campus activities be financial members of the Club or, as guests, fill in the public liability insurance form for non-members. This issue will be reviewed at the AGM.
PARKING AT ANU this year will be very difficult. Please allow time to find a space and to walk to the venue. For functions at the House it will be possible to collect a permit from Reception on the day, which will avoid the two hour limit. This will only be a "permit to hunt". You are urged to car pool.
We welcome newcomers and visitors to the University; please make our programme known to them. Please note that when catering is involved NO late acceptances will be possible apart from the Coffee Morning and the Annual General Meeting.
