On or around 10 January, all NAPFA members were sent an email or a letter if no email advising of the AGM.
I hope to see as many members there as possible.
Here is an extract from that communication with the details. I have also posted the Newsletter onto the web under the newsletter section, where you can also get the committee nomination form.
Official notification NAPFA Annual General Meeting [/font][/font] The AGM for the membership year 2013/14 will be held at the • Shelter Shed, Glendora Caravan Park/camping area Hill End, NSW • Saturday 14th February at 2:00PM Please bring – your membership card, a chair and a cool drink. Note this is the same location where we held the previous AGM. Committee nominations are also being called. [/p]
Use the form that is in the newsletter on the NAPFA website (www.napfa.net) under the newsletter section.
Positions that must be filled are:
• President
• Vice President
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Ordinary Committee Members x 3
We are a volunteer organisation and rely on the enthusiasm, organisation and dedication of the committee to achieve our goals.
If we cannot fill the committee, then NAPFA may cease to exist.
So if you have the capability to help, now is the time to Step-Up. NOMINATE BY 5 FEBRUARY PLEASE.
Normally work of committee members is not too difficult but it is important that you are an active email user; willing and able to contribute in writing or in meetings and willing to take an active interest in understanding and promoting the goals of NAPFA among fossickers and the community at large.
It is essential that committee members be able to work tactfully and constructively with other committee members and conduct themselves in a proper way.
Nominations may be invited from those attending the AGM, if no nominations for those positions have been received prior. You can nominate yourself.
THERE WILL BE A LUCKY DOORPRIZE OF A MINI GOLD CONCENTRATOR, THANKS TO CRESSWELL ENGINEERING!
See you there!
Regards
Stephen
President NAPFA

You guys who live in NSW MUST get behind NAPFA and join your committee otherwise you will not have NAPFA or a goldfield to enjoy your hobby. Ever since NAPFA has started they have strived in leaps and bounds to get more goldfields open and to keeps others open, for you the prospector to enjoy. Buy not getting behind NAPFA and joining the committee or getting behind them and fighting for a course is the same as telling the NSW Government that you don't mind them in closing down your goldfields to prospecting. NAPFA depends on YOU & YOU have to depend on NAPFA to keep your goldfields open. It's up to you, goldfields or No goldfields.  Your call!!! nugget893 |

Looking at the way NSW handles all the stuff about fossicking is a revelation. At least there appears to be a bit of give and take. But moving up here to Qld from Vic it's like stepping back in time about ten years when it comes to looking at the way the local population react to fossickers. Around Kilkivan is really sad. They regard fossickers like vermin and if you've got a Vic rego plate, even worse. WTF! I was born and bred here. But aussies really have a long way to go, that's for bloody sure! I don't ever want anyone telling me it's a land of 'the fair go'. That is a load of bulltish!!!
Still, it's par for course. Any state that doesn't allow the sale of beer in supermarkets is a state of wowsers. If it was a Muslim state I'd understand. But this is just sick and weird.
Soon it'll be illegal and dangerous to go metal detecting in Qld. Up around the Palmer River, you take your life into your own hands when you go up there. I know. I was up there and a few old-timer detectors gave me chapter and verse about the dope growing that gives rise to the violence up that way. And to emphasize that fact, there's a court case in Cairns in the last weeks dealing with two people who murdered a guy who was detecting up that way. Plus, there are still three missing detectors, still not found in the same district.
And the 'govt.' has got a prohibition for fossicking on just about all of the Palmer River area; and they are considering enlarging the boundaries a lot more.
Welcome to the Brave New World!
