General Business
Frank Hinton: Reviews the convention – Costs are reduced a little and this convention ran at a small loss.
Recommends keeping it going with a third convention at Wangaratta. Costs in Wangaratta are low and the
venue/area is very good. Considering booking load at venue, third week in May 2020 looks appropriate.
Julie Hinton: If anybody knows of any conflicting events at that time please advise. GS stated a possible conflict but
will check.
General business concluded.
Meeting close and Board Election.
The new Executive is Frank Hinton President, Tony Hambling Treasurer and Deborah Sloss Secretary.
Outgoing Secretary Frank Andrewartha to remain Public Officer for the time being.

A thankful acknowledgment to Sheree Cross for covering a Dave Bell presentation due to illness and absence.
