Apologies: Chrissie R, Chrissie R, Morgan

• Financials. Presented by Rob. Some folks still have a credit from cancelled Chilli Sing as we end the year so we would love you to carry that over to deduct from next year’s fees.  Anyone who wants to know more see Rob. 
• Spring Sing. Financials being finalised but pleased to report that Spring Sing broke even. Thank-you to Elspeth who prepared the online forms for registrations and managed the payments. Review: Linda reported many positives – scheduling great, food packs; excellent presenters – thankyou to Graeme & Morgan for the musical challenges; photography and video was not organised and worth considering next time; venue – great facilities except for sound quality; coffee van Second Shot – happy with day; Communication/marketing – challenging to get an answer so might be strategic to get a response eg poll with yes/no; signage – need a second pole for 2nd banner. Advertising/name tags fabulous and thank-you to Judy. Finally a big thankyou to Linda & Lee and others in the team that worked tirelessly to bring together a great Spring Sing day.
