Friday the 3rd december 530pm at the club house in cottontree carpark, a general meeting for the starting of new club for kiters in the area. insurance will be a pre- requisite to compete in the club , so do yourselves a favour and get a form filled in to cover yourself , they will be available on the arvo , cash is the only payment through the club at this stage for insurance . Cheaper now than after december !

This will mostly just be an informational meeting and is available for all kiters in the area and anyone interested in the club. It will be open discussion about how the club is for the local community and is non for profit. One of the main reasons for the meeting is to talk about the insurance for individuals. All information will be provided about how to obtain insurance on the day. There will be a rise in insurance rates on February 2011, so the sooner you can get signed up the better. We hope to see everyone at the meeting. Everyone welcome. Cya there

As many locals kite at both Cottontree and Bulcock, can we and how do we join both clubs?
Have already joined AKSA and welcome a united voice for kiters on the coast.

There should be no reason why you can't join both clubs especially if you already have AKSA membership. It would be good to see you at the meeting so you can let new members know how to join AKSA! Hope to see ya there jt737

AKSA membership is the membership to Caloundra club.

For admin reasons (distribution of AKSA funds) I think it's simpler to be a financial member of only one club.

Social memberships may be different, but until a committee is elected and the rules are decided, it's a hard one to answer. (it's like being a member of KBV and NSWKA at the same time)

Maybe one huge body for the coast, with 3 branches? could this happen. the bar , the door, noosa . or would it all be too hard , with a little committee in each area. we are trying to just look after our spot in the case the council chooses not to have us there anymore , no club /no body to represent us. lets face it everyone should have insurance anyway.

All online go to aksa, this is the easiest method, they let you know your covered in 3 days.

Same as the longboarders clubs, board riders and SUP.

One at Caloundra, one at Maroochy and one at Noosa

Geographically the coast is too big for one club. And travel will be the enemy of all. Been there, done it. Local always works better.

There is enough members to have numbers at each and then inter club comps take on new meaning.

Fundamentally each club is a sub branch of AKSA. Easy as!

Boundaries are easy. Mooloolah River and Coolum.

We at Caloundra have talked about this at length for the past 5 years. PM me and I'll let you know how it works.

Done the club thing all my life , very aware, just being neutral to see what the majority are after.
