WELCOME
PP  Bruce conducted the usual toasts to RI and Australia,  welcomed members and  introduced PP Charlie who chaired the meeting.
Charlie advised that it would be a short meeting due to the need for a Board meeting following recent resignation of P/E Tim McCrohan.
All members were invited to the Board meeting as the business included selection of a new President Elect 
 
APOLOGIES
      Liz Bannon, Bob Mathrick, Frank Nott, Kaylyn Journeaux,  Rob Haughton, , David Rathbone, Bob Wiseman, Peter Hull, Colin Clark, Phil Symons,
 
REPORTS
 
PP Judy  circulated BBQ Roster list which has a lot of spaces to be filled so please help if you can. It is not expected nor sensible to expect anyone working full time to take time off paid work to assist at weekday events, so please do not feel guilty if you are in this category. Please let Judy know if you can fill a space on the roster.
 
Foundation Chair Peter  advised of a working bee at 10 am Sunday 7 May to rejuvenate the rose garden and requested assistance from anyone available.
