5 POINTS• We ran a successful raft race this year and we invite all
present to acknowledge this!
• After a lapse of five years, and virtually no documentation - from scratch
• Nothing is set in stone and can always change.
• We’ve not full time - we don’t have the resource to solicit applications for funding. Tell us about yourselves!
• Everything is a learning curve. Its easy to criticise with hindsight.
Wednesday, 21 October 2009
GOING FORWARD• We can see ways in which things will improve - of
course.
• This requires continuity!
• Legislation has changed dramatically.
