SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES - NOVEMBER 2009
The Society outing on 25 October in Brisbane proved to be an enjoyable day, and it was good to have some of our very new members attending. We lost one of our party for a while, but then he popped up again!! Had something to do with trains not waiting!
Don’t forget those Membership renewals. Your name will drop off the emailing list at the end of November if you are not financial. Remember to complete your Renewal of Membership form, and pay the treasurer in person, or mail your renewal to P.O. Box 2363, Southport, Q4215.
November Outing: The sign-on forms for this function will be at the rooms for the next two nights. Do come along and enjoy a relaxed get-together on Sunday 29 November at 8.00am. The location is the park on Duringan Street. Currumbin. GCPS is providing a BBQ breakfast.
We have received advice that at 3.00pm NZ time (12 noon our time) on 7 March 2010 a New Zealand group is organizing a “Snapshot of Earth”. If you would like to be part of this event, please see the attached Word document for details. Jeff will be reminding members about this over the next couple of months.
Our Society has been selected by Latow Guild of Canada, to participate in a Photography Challenge. We have agreed to be involved and Ken will be contacting members in the new year with details. Meanwhile, you might like to have a look at their website http://latow.tripod.com/
Do contribute to the blog which David set up for Places of Interest. It is always a challenge to find places of interest, so if you have suggestions I am sure they would be greatly appreciated.
AGM – 26 November. We are still waiting for the flood of nominations for the positions which have to be filled Please think seriously about becoming involved in your Society, by offering your thoughts, ideas and expertise.
Our congratulations to Diane Murphy and Helga Hague – both promoted to AB Grade, and Michi Brooks – promoted to A Grade as of January 2010. We look forward to seeing more excellent work from these members.
We would like to welcome the following new members: Leanne Ronalds, Joanne Smith, Craig Capper and Charles Knight, as well as Colin Bucknall and Karoly Nemeskeri who missed being acknowledged here last month. Please make them welcome
If any member has business contacts who might be willing to offer suitable lucky door prizes, please see a member of the committee.
Best wishes
Vi Wilson
Secretary
