MATTERS ARISING;

1> Website.

M Bindon is still working on finding an appropriate photo editing program. J Belworthy sent a free download which will be trailed, however will expire, enquiries are to be made into the purchase of appropriate software, perhaps Photoshop for example.

Full site redevelopment to be considered later.

2 > NZ Offshore Series.

The next series of rule variation proposals was discussed at length and voted on, those variations now to be drafted into this document for presentation at the next Committee meeting. It was noted that this document needs completion and presentation to the membership asap so all can ready themselves for the 2016 season.

In addition to other Entry form information, P Anderson is to investigate and propose a disclaimer paragraph to be included on entry forms. This has been further considered and agreed that this disclaimer would be better included on the membership application so all members sign off on this as they either join or rejoin the NZMPBA.

3 > NZMPBA Membership cards.

The current membership applications have all been ratified, membership cards to be prepared and sent out as required.

4 > IRMS Generator

The only other requirement at this point is that an earth wire and ground peg needs to be made. S Trott to arrange this.

5 > Rule Changes.

J Belworthy and M Bindon to correct some rule anomalies and revise the info under the Class website tab is consistent with the rules.

6 > NZMPBA AGM.

Electronic Election of Officers:

S Trott gave a brief update of the nominations received so far.

J Belworthy has sent an e mail reminder to the membership regarding nominations required ready for AGM in August at the Taupo Offshore.

7 > 2016 NZMPBA Championships

P Fowler has sent images of the venue and is now to continue with assembling other promotional info so all can ultimately be sent as a Nats Promo to the membership. Work in Progress.

8 > Honorary Auditor.

S Trott has presented a motion to be considered at the AGM since this is a constitutional consideration.

9 > Membership Application Form.

S Trott has presented motions for consideration at the AGM as some of this impacts the constitution, and proposed changes to the constitution can only be considered at the AGM.

10 > Promo DVD

S Trott provided an update as the project progresses.

11 > B Hely Letter.

The meeting discussed the various aspects of the reply letter at length, the outcome was that

S Trott is to draft another letter of response to be distributed to committee, when all in agreeance with the draft then the letter is to be sent to B Hely.

GENERAL BUSINESS

1 > Offshore Convenor for 2015

T Christiansen has withdrawn from this co opted position due to personal reasons, S Trott to check with B Gutsell if he can fulfil that role for the rest of the season. T Riddiford still to assist as required.

Next NZMPBA Committee meeting.
