The 2020 Long Reef SLSC AGM is THIS Sunday 2 August at 2pm!

Long Ruffians!

The time has come to farewell a season like no other. One filled with natural disasters, cancelled competitions, a shortened patrolling season and a virus that has changed how we do things. We didn’t get a chance to properly farewell last season and as things are ever-evolving, sadly, our Longy-style end-of-season festivities will have to wait.

Sunday, 2 August 2020 at 2pm is the Long Reef SLSC AGM.  We will hold our AGM, elect our new Management Committee and Officers and acknowledge our 2020 Award recipients following the AGM at 3pm. In these COVID times, there are some steps you need to take to attend. Please take the time to read this email. 
 
As usual – in order to vote, you need to do a couple of things:

  • Be financial (i.e. pay your membership fee) for the 2020-21 season, and
  • Renew your SLS membership. 

The meeting will look a bit different this year due to COVID regulations.There will be the physical meeting with limited places available due to NSW COVID guidelines. But don’t worry! You can also join us digitally via Zoom. 2019-20 Award presentations will follow the official AGM at 3pm. You will need to register for that one too and click the emailed link on Sunday afternoon. All details on how to book and register are below.

If you would like to get involved and hold one of the many available positions at Long Reef SLSC, we’d love to have you. Positions for nominations are below with nomination forms. Fill, sign and voila! Matt can answer any questions and help guide you. Email: secretary@longreef.com

We hope to see you in some shape or form!
