that was a huge responce goatman,could be it was friday night,if your northside try casso or one one the sup shops,if you have a few like minded mates its easy to do.
on yah casso,with you finger in the loop sponsorship should be easy,you know product etc for prizes and raffles.
aa, that may depend on how officious you want it to be,we will keep our club fairly casual and have an agm once each june,you know proper meeting sort of,this first year we dont want to scare new people off with the b.s. that goes with small clubs,all the dick swinging as the alpha males get into it.always happens in all clubs imo,so we are letting the committee sort it out then ask for input from the members to get a feel of what they want,if you stand alone just adopt the standard constitution that dept of fair trading offer,it simplifies things to start off.if you need to go with your own rules(constitution)do it later in a year or so.we are meeting once a month for flat water and education,as the sup gets better we will do comps but for now there are not enough surfers to hold club surf comps..this is not just my view for our club but jodie and woogie,who have lots of club experience as well.keep it low key and it should work
so we would be under one name eg SUP SYDNEY With somone running the north side ,and me looking after the south side and we come togeather for events ,meetings etc ..... is this your way of thinking?

the best part of surfing australia is you just pay them affilliation for the insurance,they get the best deal because of their membership numbers,you dont have to sit on their committee or answer to them plus they are the only way to get a sanctioned aussie title,
.That sounds good I'm hoping we can get a demo day or event at Cronulla ..... once the club is up and running !
