Walking SA Club Presidents’ Summit, Friday November 13, 2020
A get together of the key people from walking clubs and organizations of South Australia was held to develop a more cohesive and relevant strategy going forward. We had nine clubs in attendance, representing over 2,600 members from around the state, however mostly Adelaide based. The feedback seems to indicate a clear mandate to take the lead on issues and to be bolder and more coherent with our strategic vision.
