Membership Report by Rob Hanna:
140 members, 7 still outstanding. Rob has chased up to no avail but still finds it hard to connect with some members. Responsibility is for members to chase up receipt if it doesn’t arrive. He does his best but cannot be held responsible if he can’t contact them.
Conversation regarding signing books, suggested we fill out book regardless of club run or not to avoid possible issues with police not understanding the system.
