Editors Snippet

Phew!! We finally have an editor – many thanks to Aaron Kearney who stepped up at the AGM and agreed to take over the job. Please make sure you support him with articles and photos. Thank you to everyone who has helped over the last year to make sure that you all got the Venture, especially to Heather for collecting the magazines from the printer each month and, along with Bozy, for doing the labels and putting the mags in the envelopes.

Tracey Hayward was the recipient of the “Best Venture Contributor”, a book token will be winging her way shortly.

Attendance at the AGM was quite disappointing considering the size of our club, but we did just make a quorum. That must mean that you are happy with the way things are being run. Members that did attend voted for an increase in the branch subscription of $1 per member - there was discussion as to whether this was a bit light but it was agreed we would see how this financial year pans out .
