EVENTS The Events and Publicity Officer reported that there were two events last month, the Club Sunday had the courses moved but wasn’t good on positioning. NADS was reasonable with majority of the members back following the worlds championship. 15th October is the last NADS event. 4th November is fireworks and night sailing and that food orders for burgers and hot dogs should be placed with Ian Phillips last orders will be 1st November also it would be appreciated if someone could assist Elaine in the galley on the 4th November and next year unfortunately Elaine’s mum has had a heart attack recently and is no longer able to assist.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS Alf Lee standing in for Chairman gave thanks to Ian and Tony for all the hard work they have done on both truck section and crawler section, the crawler section has had very little expense and all materials have been sourced from unneeded or scrap.
