Future Directions Assembly
Rod Greer chaired the discussion on the 12 circulated items plus an additional 'anything else' item efficiently getting through all items before 8.00pm, including meal breaks. A very efficient discussion occurred on each point, with broad participation from the members, 70% of who were present. There was also plenty of 'table talk' in between. Rod Bush, using an interesting 'thought bubble' process, transcribed all ideas into succinct points. These bubbles will be edited and presented to the membership prior to being developed into recommendations to go to the Board.
Thanks to Ann Hodgkinson for taking the notes at this meeting.
Please note it is essential that apologies be recorded by 12noon on Mondays. Also the Club has to pay for members who have not apologized and not turned up! Phone number is 0457 315 900. Thank You.
A Reminder… I would be very grateful if a hard copy of reports could be given to me at the meeting… My task would be made easier!
