Dear members,

As the New Year welcomes us to what we hope will be a successful year of competition, it's time for us at HVDA to invite you and remind you of our AGM tonight at 7pm at the Maitland City Council in the Paterson room.

We have some great ideas for the upcoming year but we are running a small team of people and we would really love to expand our team, so the work load could be shared.

There are numerous roles available we need help with and whilst we do all the jobs necessary, so we can keep running the competitions, we will run out of steam to do it all eventually.

If you have a little bit of spare time, some computer skills (spreadsheets etc) but also no skills at all but a will to learn, we would love to have you on our team.

Please consider joining us. There are some great benefits for committee members and we are also a bunch of good eggs to hang out with, who genuinely like each other's company.

I hope to see you there!

Tonight at 7pm, Paterson room at Maitland Council.

With best wishes for the New Year,
Tereza Husakova
President of HVDA

Our committee would like to let all of our members know that we will be having our AGM on 30th January 2026 at Maitland Town Hall at 7pm in the Paterson Room.

It's better late than never! If you were considering to join our committee to have a say in how the club is run, 30th January is a good time to come along!
