Community: Peter Hawthorn will circulate a list of people he hopes members will contact for 'Are you OK?' over the next few weeks.
- The erection of a Bicycle shed is being proposed for the Bellarine Secondary College, as is a Vegetable Garden. Peter Cullen is searching for more affordable quotes and sponsors.

Membership: There are 42 members at present. This meeting will be a membership drive in the form of a Restaurant information night on 26/7. Four businesses have been asked to attend. There will be a $5.00 entry fee and finger food will be supplied.
There will be a special door prize. Time will be 6.30pm for 7.00pm.
Two other events are planned. One will be gallery owners and staff and the other will be information from businesses in the Industrial Estate.
Rod Bush presented a short demonstration on the ins and outs of the updated web site. Members will have password access to the membership details.
All members are requested to use the site where possible, as it is an economic and quick way to gain information about the Club and our activities.
Members then had some time discussing their plans for activities in the various committee groups for the coming year. Further discussion and plans will be out lined in the next few weeks.
Thank You, Alison George
