The VMRG combined annual Monitoring Training and AGM weekend is coming up at Wonga Hut Campground, Wyperfeld National Park.

The VMRG conducts an annual Training Weekend on the second full weekend in October, and training is mandatory for all prospective monitors before they become monitors.

Training includes field work requirements, safety in the bush and use of the technology. The program starts at noon on Saturday and ends at lunch time of Sunday. The VMRG’s AGM will be held on Sunday morning. A separate notice of the meeting agenda and nomination forms will be sent to members.

For members, the cost of training is included in the membership fee, provided it is paid on or prior to the weekend. Saturday night dinner is a highlight of the weekend and is provided at a small charge for current members. The fee covers Saturday evening meal with desserts, Sunday lunchtime and continuous hot water for refreshments. You will need to bring your own eating utensils.

New members and prospective members who attend are most welcome this year at no cost.

New attendees will be eligible for free catering and a welcome pack.

Registrations options for the weekend are available here.
