Motion: to cancel the December officer’s meeting
Motioned: Thorfinn Seconded: Genna CWD
Christmas party – scheduled for 19th December
Antonia to organise and advertise
Bring a plate and $5 KK gift
Catering hospit – more gear needed
May be an idea to split up storage half-and-half, able to easily transport enough for smaller events
Stackable modular plasticware would be advantageous
Antonia to price new gear
Suggestion: purchase 2 trestle tables for the Barony
Business cards – designs have been submitted by Thorfinn
Pricing: $150 for 1000
Do we need that many?
