| ANNUAL RALLY - OCTOBER
2008
Historically, the HDS SEAP has endeavoured to have an Annual Rally each year, but unfortunately this arrangement has slipped by the wayside over the last few years. In the past, we have held Rallies in Melbounre, Adelaide, Albury and Sydney and it is probably about time we thought of Qld, where our membership continues to grow. After some discussion at the 2007 AGM (refer to your copy of the Minutes), it was decided we should return to this annual Rally arrangement ASAP and include our AGM as part of that Rally so as to reach as many of our members in person as possible. The tryanny of distance is our biggest hurdle at HDS SEAP, with members all over Australia and New Zealand, not to mention countries further afield and we are NEVER going to make everyone happy, wherever we choose to hold a Rally.................. but, let's give this a try and see what member response we get back.

Disclaimer
The HDS SEAP is a membership-based, not for profit, Incorporated organisation, formed in 1997. Administration of the Society is carried out by a small Committee elected by the members on an annual basis. There are no paid positions at any level within the Society. Due to the tyranny of distance over the huge area in which the HDS SEAP operates, Committee meetings are held by email. Committee Minutes and financials are reported in our magazine. The HDS SEAP is not involved in any in-water activities. Diving is potentially hazardous and may cause serious injury or death. The Board of the HDS SEAP suggests that to dive without proper training or procedures, using equipment that you have not been trained or have experience with, or equipment that has not been well maintained, all increase this risk. The HDS SEAP is not a substitute for any of the above in any way. Commonsense and diving within your own experience and ability, is each members choice. Webmaster is not responsible for content. Content is maintained by the committee.
