On the 11 February 2020, the Audax Australia Annual General Meeting was held in various locations and utilised teleconference facilities.
Awards
The reason many attend the AGM is the awards, and this year two Lifetime Memberships were presented. Lifetime Membership is the highest honour the club can award and reflects a commitment to all aspects of the club: riding, ride organising, volunteering, and holding positions at regional and national levels. The club is proud and honoured to present Lifetime Membership to Alan Walker and Russell Noble. The nomination detailing their achievements and contribution to the club can be read:
