Apologies
1. Opening Remarks (TC)
TC> All been on holidays enjoying themselves - hope all have enjoyed
break and built antennas. Need to get back to work, holidays are
over���¢�¯�¿�½���¦
Good to be back. We have all been a little bit slack since last
meeting.
2. Correspondence (VT)
TM> Area groups have been commented on, and require some
organisation. Inter-group communication (committee) could also be
utilised to higher degree to assist the situation. this could possibly
be a 'bah, its holiday season' thing, but point for discussion.
TM> we need to form a system for responding to emails and
communicating to members.
TC> we should note on the website that there is no committee activity
over the holiday period
TM> need to improve how we communicate.
* Regional Group Mail lists: While very productive for the local
members, much would also be good for the main group, it has been
suggested that area coordinators provide a 'group newsletter' or
similar, if the activity is there for post to the main list eg;
monthly ?.
TC> already discussed Is MW going to provide mail list services for
regional groups, if so, definitions and boundaries to be set.
TC> Boundaries already set (only guides)

notified, also digesting
