The Hoe Tonga Special General Meeting will be held tonight so all regional affiliated clubs can vote on the acceptance of our updated constitution which has been amended to meet the new requirements of the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. As you will be aware, this comes into effect on April 5 of this year.
A quorum is needed in order for the SGM to go ahead, so we kindly ask that each club has a representative present. Further details including a hui agenda, zoom link and copy of the updated constitution has been circulated via email to all regional affiliated clubs.
If you would like to attend on behalf of your club, please email us with your name and your clubs’ name for the zoom link 🔗hoetonga@gmail.com
There are a number of Motor Sport activities happening this weekend – Jet Skis in Oriental Bay and Jet Boats in Porirua Harbour both Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd. There are Bylaw uplifts in place for both events.
There will be some setting up of the courses on the Friday (today) and some potential trials of the course, obviously safety in paramount, however a little leeway maybe required during this process.
Aerial photos showing the approximate courses are attached below.
