2 WELCOME

2.1 Mike Jones welcomed the members and explained that the meeting would deviate from the normal due to the summer recess and the launch of the Area Forum website directly after the AGM. We would have the monthly meeting first, then the AGM.

3 MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING

3.1 The minutes of the meeting held on 5 July 2006 were read, approved and accepted as a true record.

Proposed, Tony Easson, Seconded Dave Evans.

4 MATTERS ARISING FROM LAST MEETING

5 DATE, TIME AND VENUE OF NEXT MEETING

5.1 This would normally be 18 October, but it was considered that this is too long a gap because today’s meeting was curtailed by the AGM.

5.2 There was a discussion about which day of the week. It was decided to experiment with alternating the day Monday, Tuesday, and discuss it again thereafter.

5.3 Next meeting will be at 6:00pm on Monday 2 October 2006 at Caldicot Day Luncheon Centre, Sandy Lane, Caldicot.
