MATTERS ARISING;

1> Website.

B Gutsell has spoken to Taryn Olsen requesting him to make a professional appraisal of the current website, in terms of if it can be tidied up and /or modified to be more user friendly, or perhaps if a new website easier to use being locally designed and supported should be looked into.

Host Papa have offered an opportunity to change the domain name to . Club, there appears to be no advantage in doing this, and the meeting voted unanimously to leave the web site domain name as it is.
