General Update 
Ineke Thornton.
Greg Cooke informed the members that Ineke Thornton has resigned from the club due to family commitments.  Everyone was really sad to hear this news and wish Ineke all the best.  Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have contributed and bought to the club.  You will be sadly missed and are welcomed back at any time.

Western District Bush fire assistance.
Graham Perkins provided an update on the Western District Bush fFires and the urgent requirement for fencing supplies.  Between Graham and the club we have donated 2 reels of fencing wire via BlazeAid and it was trucked off to the Western District last Thursday. This will be a great help as kilometers of fencing was destroyed. Thanks to Graham for organising this so quickly and making this happen.
