  1. Matters Arising
    1. Marina has received a new cheque book, so they have changed the treasurer’s name. However they have not changed the Association name on the cheques yet. Tom proposed and Bernard seconded that Marina gets the forms to enable the association to move to online banking, she will also check whether there are any extra charges. This was agreed by everybody.
    2. Katrina volunteered to be the membership secretary. There are some other new members to add on. David was thanked for his work with the membership cards. Katrina, Claire and Tom will meet to collate all the lists and then Katrina will re-send the membership list.
