What's new?

Hi there,

You would have noticed that there has not been much news published to date for the years' activities by your committee and yes, we have some things planned but we need to firm it up with the powers that be (SKMM) and yes, it is related to the National Council's term of office expiring soon.

As with any transition of power, there would be a lacuna in activities from us. This is pending a direction statement from the governing body. We do not want to be in a position whereby the new Council decide to disband the current set up of having state bodies (without the powers and authority to speak for the National Council) whereby the sponsorship arrangements, donations and support pledged would have to be renegotiated. As it stands we have a few pledges of financial support for the activities planned (provided it is under the MARTS banner) and from the minuscule funds that we have (collected from the sale of T Shirts, Stickers etc) it would be better to conserve the funds and pledges until we have a clear direction of where the National Council is going to be and what is it directions.

However that should not stop any of the members from individually organising the activities. Do note that the ARDF community has set up some activities lead by our Premier Fox Hunter in Penang.

So until the fog clears -
