From the Management Meeting Jan 11, 06
A marathon meeting lasting 31/2 hours at Bob Crudgington's house dealt with a wide range of issues. This is not unusual for an organisation which is finding its feet and further meetings will be held fortnightly until the work load lessens.
Most of the issues dealt with were routine - where will the mail be directed, where should bank accounts be opened, who are the signatories, what should the letterhead look like - but a fair amount of time was spent examining the Rules of the Forum and what the Forum needed to do to comply with those rules. It was decided to publish the Rules of the Forum on this blog so that members could become familiar with them. Already the Committee is aware of the need to make changes to the Rules and it is hoped that these changes will be placed before members at the first quarterly meeting on April 12.
Member should be aware that the following outcomes were also achieved :
a. the Forum has adopted the soldier crab as its symbol
b. the Forum has set as its major project, the active management of the Hays Inlet
Conservation Park
c. a calendar of events was partially completed ( see this blog ) and
d. a proper website will be established to replace this blog.
Commmittee members have a large number of tasks in front of them especially with organising the Feb 26 Environmental Monitoring training afternoon. It is hoped that many members will participate in this event as environmental monitoring will be an on-going project of the Forum. ( see the Calendar for full details )
Members are asked to assist the Management Committee in deciding on a snappy statement which can be used as a Vision Statement for the Forum. Look at the following and see what you can come up with:
REF - making a difference
REF working to preserve our environment through practical projects.
The Management Committee looks forward to hearing from members.
( Thanks to Bob's wife, Carolyn, for child management and supper )
