I'm more interested in learning about the accidents that led to the increase in fees.

Considering kiters don't seem to be able to fart without a post being put on on here, I'm surprised I know nothing about them. Or did I miss some posts?

After 31 Dec 2010, the new subscription fee will be $650.

If it goes to that price watch how many will renew next year . Can one get his own insurence (public liabilty cover) and with a little joining fee get aksa membership so you could still be alowed to play in comp stuff .

Did I just hear someone fart ?
Has there ever been anyone that gets the story so completely wrong so often.
100% increase on $65 = $130
200% increase on $65 = $195
But Hey - the date is right.
You will be paying from $130 to $200 for a 12 month subscription to AKSA and your state KSA from 1/1/2011.
But at least it is for a full 12 mths.

Ask again when you can get equivalent cover (up to $20M ; 24/7 ; kiter to kiter etc).
I dont think so.
How much does it cost to join your local 'any-other' club. One local club I enquired at charges $385 for a social membership. All that gives you is permission to go there and spend money over the bar. Maybe able to have a shower too?

And how do you get on if next year you are the one facing a $2000000 claim all on your lonesome. If you work 2 jobs & never buy a house you may get it paid off before you die.

Puppet thanks for clearing my question i all ready pay for public lilablety with my work it has 20 mil and was just wondering .

My 2 cents

An issue raised in the past & one i think should be on AKSA's agenda if fees are to be increased is at least the option to have personal injury & death cover included as part of your membership.

To WAKSA we need clubrooms; there's a nice piece of vacant land next to the Swannie surf club but reallly it should be up by Brighton the bar would do a roaring trade from kiters finishing a down winder

Skate Australia is the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) recognized by the Federal Governments, Australian Sports Commission (ASC) as the peak body administering the growth and development of six individual skating sports within Australia.
The ASC is the Australian Government agency that supports and invests in sport at all levels in Australia. The ASC works closely with NSO's to develop sport from community participation to high performance level.

The ASC supports a wide range of programs designed to develop sporting excellence and increase participation and achievement by all Australians. The notion of both social and elite pathways for athletes, coaches, officials and administrators lies at the heart of a sport's effective planning processes.

The ASC directs it's funding and services to ensure these pathways are in place and are effective in delivering increased participation and continued international sporting success.

For the financial year 2009-2010 Skate Australia will receive $186,000 in funding from the ASC of which $100,000 is specifically allocated for the development of skateboarding.

The ASC offers two types of funding to NSO's

Sports Grants - which support the high performance and/or sport development activities of the organization, as indicated in the organisation's strategic and operational plans
Specific ASC Program Grants - which relate to specific projects and initiatives aimed at developing specific priorities including coaching, officiating, talent identification, indigenous sport, sport for people with disability and sport for women.
Funding allocations are reviewed annually in light of the organisation's performance against objectives and performance measures listed in the organisation's annual operational plan, as well as compliance with the ASC requirements.

The Australian Sport Commission's focus is sport, not recreation or sub cultures or pastimes. The ASC only supports that component of the activity that is "sport" and can be developed.



The ASC do not fund individuals, corporations, major events or facilities, but support NSO programs that they believe have the capacity to achieve the outcomes that benefit the Australian sporting system.



There is no doubt over time and as resources become available Skateboarding Australia will continue to increase outcomes for the entire skateboarding community.

Picker what did that have to do with insurance?

Sorry nothing to do with insurance but funding available for our sport. Asc are very supportive and have a large budget that maybe able to help somewhere someday.

Ray

who's the try hard and desperate on this forum?

It seems to me that WS is desperate in his attempts to mislead and confuse readers. Desperate in his attempts to further his oh so boring and repetitive anti Association diatribe.

For once WS, I agree. WAKSA is somewhat "desperate". Desperate to try and bring new and better events to our members (this new thing called the Wedge Wave Comp we did a couple of weeks back; getting the inaugural Lighthouse to Leighton event up & running to cite just a couple.) Pehaps the 300 or so crew who come up to Kitestock each year don't like what WAKSA does either?

We have over 400 members already this year - perhaps those 400 members have recognised that WAKSA has been trying hard to do new things - and
those members recognise the work that has been, and will continue to be done by the Association to improve the sport and it's profile in WA. Perhaps those 400 recognise the importance of something more than just events also - or perhaps they too are tired or bored of his message?

As for his latest rant that fees will be $650, he indicates that once again, for some one who doesn't like WAKSA, he shows all too much interest in what the Association does. For someone who has no knowledge of what's going on at a state or national level, it's a somewhat confused and desperate message don't you think?

lol. ^^^
Ray,

I don't hate WAKSA.
Juddy says I do but I really don't.
He's wrong.
Seriously, I actually care about WAKSA.
That's why I take such an interest in it.
And sometimes I even try to make some suggestions. (but they are usually ignored)
lol.
Do you want to hear some suggestions of mine ?

But I don't like the stupid pimping much.

I'm sorry Dave ...^^^
but I'm talking to Ray only.
