Reports
Club Service, Richard Grimmett: The bulletin cover sheet needs to be edited – (Bob Jordon volunteered to have this done). We need a new bulletin editor. Please see Richard if you think you may be able to do this job. The task is not too challenging. 43 members receive the bulletin by email and 11 are posted.
The club web page continues to be updated and members are encouraged to refer to this for the latest information.
If you have any concerns or suggestions regarding the effective functioning of the club please do not hesitate to contact Richard.
Club Secretary, David Cornwell: Please write a note as well as making comments or giving information tp ensure that nothing is forgotten.
From the floor: Bowel Scan, Bob Jordon: This has been a successful year with 400 kits sold through 5 pharmacies. A very worthwhile project.
