As a club, we are always looking to do things better and a bit different. With this in mind, this year we are having our AGM on a Saturday afternoon following some paddle time on the water - especially given Covid's attack on our club paddle opportunities. So this year's belated AGM will be about some fun time on the water, the presentation of club trophies, a bit of overdue social time and then club business. As we head into a hopefully Covid-normal new season, with club events planned for early 2021, we encourage every one to get along and reaquaint yourselves with your fellow club members and to be part of this 'AGM event'. In spite of a Covid-enforced layoff for most of 2020, the future of our club still looks very bright and we encourage members to take part in this and our 2021 programme of events. We realise that some may not be able to be with us on the day, so we will live stream the presentation of awards and the AGM part of the event.   Trophies to be presented on the day: 5k Virtual Challenge Winners SUP Vic Pod Achiever Awards Club Heart and Soul Award Surf Champions Port Phillip Cup Great Melbourne Paddle Downwind Daze Champs 2020 Club Champion   Finally, a bit of housekeeping for our 2020 'AGM event'. The club will be operating this event strictly in accordance with government Covid regulations and the club's Covid-19 Policy document; ie, attendee records completed, hand sanitisers available, social distancing expected and food and beveridges served strictly in accordance with regulations. And of course, like all other events, if you have any covid-like symptoms, then we expect that your will not attend in person - but of course you can stream-in if you're up to it.  SUP Vic will be putting some 'cash on the bar' for members and their guests, but we expect at this stage that food catering will be off the cards. This event is for current members and a guest; check your membership is current, as quite a few memberships elapsed in the shadows of our covid-effected 2020. We will also be following covid regulations in relation to group numbers, so it is important to 'purchase' a complimentary ticket for you and your guest. Finally, if you have any interest in helping out with the workings of club and would like to join the committee team, please let one of the existing committee members know prior to this event. And a reminder that our our club's constitution dictates that, in order to stand for a committe position, you must be a current member and that your membership has been active for in excess of 10 days prior to the AGM.

Book it in and bring your friends and family along.   IMPORTANT - in respect of the virulent nature of Covid-19, we ask that all attendees at the weekend and the dinner - and all SUP Vic events going forward until further notice - refrain from the usual methods of greetings,( ie, shaking hands, kissing) and stick with the universal surf greeting of a ‘shaka’. This prevents any potential embarrassment of individuals who are choosing (as is their right) to avoid traditional greetings during these trying times and of course has the potential to help with the prevention of the spread of the virus.  We also advise that SUP Vic will follow the direction of the federal government with regard to Covid-19 and any SUP Vic events/social functions going forward.
