Monday 4th June
Paul welcomed 20 members plus guest Barry Lillywhite.
Paul thanked all those members who volunteered collecting for Red Shield Appeal over the past 2 weekends. Just over $2000 was collected.
Secretary John read out quite a bit of correspondence (see cheques in and receipts, etc. in email from John Bond sent to members).
Youth Director Dave gave an overview of how Lucia is going and places she will be staying over her remaining 6 weeks. Dave thanked Henk for bookwork he’s done on his behalf for Lucia. She flies out for home on July 9th; hasn’t the year flown?!
Club Assembly discussions
Monies to be donated to organisations at the change-over – board to make those decisions at the next board meeting.
There was a bit of discussion about working with Coolamon Central School in conjunction with the Chronicle (e.g. adding a web version of the paper) and support for a student welfare officer at the school.
Discussion on proposed location for public toilets at back of fire museum and concerns regarding children crossing the main road. A letter will be sent to council to voice our concerns.
Discussion regarding fund-raising for a local family having issues with cancer – decision to be made by board.
John G discussed planning for the Changeover and suggests members book and pay for the night beforehand.
Daryl requested the food van committee have a meeting to discuss a few issues in restructuring the internals of the van – next Monday at 4.30 is proposed time at this stage, but to be confirmed by Grahame.
Ted led a very lively and somewhat controversial fine session.
