We met On-Line via Zoom. Apologies were received from Gerald East and Paul Seymour.
President Mario Fairlie welcomed all members and our Guest Speaker, Maggie Twyford (see separate report above).
After Maggies' presentation, discussion was open, primarily on the happenings at the Project Shed, the pro's and con's of the Community Bench, alternative products we could make. Wheelchair Trust Chairman Larry Murray elaborated on the upcoming working bee starting Wednesday 20th May, with the primary purpose of moving goods and shelving around to create more space for work benches. We recently took delivery of a 40' container, which will be used for temporary storage. Further discussion was on the subject of raising funds via the recycling of bottles, cans and containers. Geoff Croad's residential complex has so far raised some $1,400.
President Elect Charles Thomasson advised that there won't be any 'physical', e.g. on-site club meeting in the foreseeable future, however, once the maximum number of patrons is expanded to 20 people, we will of course consider this. On this theme, District Treasurer Mark Twyford advised that there won't be any 'physical' District Functions before December. Secretary Mitch Brown indicated that a Board Meeting will be held On-Line on Monday, 25th May. President Mario foreshadowed that we will organise a Big Bike Sale about a month before Christmas. The meeting concluded at 08:35 am.
