VICTORIA
The Victorian Branch is looking to bring more balance into Branch activities. We attend memorials throughout the year, as is right, but we haven’t got the balance of fun events.
We now have a short membership questionnaire on our website to let us know what you’re interested in. Activities that are gaining interest include 4WDing, camping, bushwalking, hunting, book club, the annual pistol shoot competition, the new annual long gun competition, coffee catch ups, dinners and drinks.
Upcoming activities are also listed on our website.

The ACT Branch AGM provides a useful opportunity to consider codifying financial membership categories as part of updating and future-proofing the National Constitution.
Accordingly, this discussion may offer useful context and further inform the National ASASA AGM-related discussions, noting our intent to pursue alignment across State Branch approaches to membership definitions and governance requirements.
