Sorry have been out of the loop for a while but have found myself having alot more spare time lately and was just wondering how the AGM went and what the news was eg who is pres etc, and if any events are in the wood works?

lol
I did the same a few years back when I had spare time - and of course contacted them directly.

Good luck.

I realise it's a volunteer-based body and so I want to be respectful to all involved, but yes, a brief notice of activity on here would surely be good for attracting potential members as well as keeping people informed.

Guys, there are a lots of news and things happening at KBV. As most of those things haven't officially been disclosed, the information in the mean time can be obtained by contacting KBV directly. In fact, there is a post re: website.
Most important, if u are having a bit of spair time and want to actively participate in developing KBV, you are more than welcome to attend to any of our monthly meetings. Please send me a PM and I can give you futher info.

Seabreezers assume that this forum is an official place for KSA's to make announcements and answer questions.

Wrong!!

This forum tends to get nasty and bitter and demoralises the volunteers.

Send them an email.

So from the sounds of things - this section of seabreeze -

which is titled Victoria / KBV - and at the top of the section has welcome to KBV forum -

is probably incorrectly titled (if KBV dont check or post here)?

may not be an official place to contact kbv but some form of presence would be nice

It's the Victorian forum, for discussing matters regarding Victorians. I'm honestly not sure why it's got KBV in the title aside from that KBV are the representative body for Victorian kiteboarders/kitesurfers.

KBV have their own website with their own discussion forum. They also have their own contact details.
Despite what some people like to think, Seabreeze isn't the epicentre of Australian kitesurfing.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Derek and I am new to the KBV committee this year and will be supporting KBV primarily around our communications and events. That means you might see posts on this forum going forward from me, on behalf of KBV.

On a couple of points raised in this thread. Yes there is a lot happening at the moment with KBV. Apologies for the delays in getting this information out to you all. We have had a busy winter with some of our regular volunteers being away and with a number of new committee members joining. Right now, we are in the process of confirming a number of items for the 2011-2012 season including our:

- KBV events calendar for 2011 / 12
- improving how we keep you up to date and how we collect member/non-member feedback
- new innovative ideas around improving our sport across the state

We'll be communicating these updates and looking for your feedback in the next few weeks. Thanks to all who have sent in suggestions for 2011 / 12 - please keep them coming.

In regards to some of the points on this thread, our ability to monitor this site regularly has slipped over the last few weeks/months due to lack of manpower. Going forward, we will be monitoring this thread more frequently.

Also - as mentioned above, our current policy to date has been to use Seabreeze for posting updates and not for discussion. As the new KBV committee beds in, we will be revisiting this policy as well as looking at better ways to collect feedback/input and to get KBV updates out.

For the moment, feedback and queries are best directed to [email protected] or through our website.

Please bear with us a just a few more weeks while we finalise our 2011-2012 plan. Lots of news to come - watch this space!

Thanks,
KBV
[Derek]

That was my exact point Dave.

For people new to this forum - and it notes at the top - "Welcome to the KBV Seabreeze Forum" - I would expect that I could come here and get ALL news KBV without having to go elsewhere.
