St Stephens booked for 19th May social get together and sing a long at 2pm – 5pm. Will need some helpers there earlier to help set up urn etc.
Marion to send out info and ask members to bring a plate for afternoon tea.
Keyboard is now ready and Andrew will pick it up. Evidently there was nothing major wrong with it. If the fault occurs again, it should be taken straight in. It was decided that a case/cover would be beneficial. Marion will look at this when she picks up keyboard. She will also purchase a new Music stand.
Chilly Sing flyer needs to go on website & Facebook and information about payments and selecting and paying for a meal at the RSL. Much easier for venue if we order meals and pay beforehand.
Marion showed us a couple of drafts for new Logo. Everyone was supportive of the draft – a few more minor changes to it. Lee to pass on names and Marion will produce new name tags.
