AAN

AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION (NORWAY)

The Australian Association (Norway) is registered with registration number 892 048 002 at Brønnøysundregistrene as a non-profit private Organisation. We are proud to have as our Patron the Australian Ambassador, H.E. Sharyn Minahan.

The purposes of AAN are to:

provide a focal point for Australians in Norway
organise regular social events of interest to the Australian community
foster cultural relationships, goodwill and friendship between Australia and Norway
organise events on national days - Australia Day and ANZAC Day
provide a channel to collectively negotiate on behalf of the Australian community

Membership is open to all nationalities. AAN is for Australians, their families, friends, or others with strong ties to Australia.

Club events for 2009 are listed on 'Calendar 2009', click the link above.

As a registered organisation, AAN needs to have a board. Current office bearers are:

President Simon White
Vice-President Shane West
Secretary Dana Michels
Treasurer Chris O'Loughlin
Committee Luke Doktor, Simon Herbert, Jonathon Read, Barry Spradbrow, Lester Whittaker

A website is in the process of being set up at www.aan.no, so that we are able to promote ourselves.

Also for this reason, we are asking for a nominal membership fee. For the cost of only 4-5 beers in Norway (depending on where you drink …) you can sign up.

For this, you will get discounted entrance to any events plus access to special offers that we can secure.
