Food, Fun and Forum

First, the food - a potluck supper will be held at the Pool Deck (weather permitting) on January 3rd from 5pm. The BBQ will be available for all to use. Bring your own food and drink plus plates, forks etc.

Then the fun - George Turner (2314) reminds everyone - women too - that the Hobby Shop Club annual fees are $20 and that all sorts of useful equipment, plus lockers, work benches etc are available to Members. An additional plus is that some of the 'hobbyists' will be delighted to help newcomers in their efforts to make or fix things.

And finally, the Forum. About 50 Owners attended with Board Members Bruno Rufa, Jacques Delorme and Lorna Taylor. Mark Hardy was also in attendance and answered the many questions from owners on the Finances.

I will be writing a summary of the Forum and emailing it to Owners in the next few days. In the meantime, when asked to clarifiy the proxy form and what is or is not acceptable, Bruno Rufa said that the Board has no intention of setting out to find fault - as long as the intention of the Owner is clear, the paper will be accepted. This allows for the crossing out those nominees' names that one does not wish to vote for and putting a tick, check, cross or ring around the vote box. As long as no more than 7 candidates are marked, the vote will be accepted.
