As for certificates - we can get away with not even giving and send them later - if it's a problem - but the Jack Life time achievement award must be presented. Trophies etc, that must be next year.

Sorry Matt. I confused you. I'm using the new logo on the night and on every page. I meant people are used to the old image here and it is only of use until tomorrow. As for costs, yeah, I'm in. I've been going over and over all my displays and they all work and look good but I will show them at the life club tomorrow anytime anybody wants to see them.

Hmmm, 3 C's. I'm glad we don't live in Kunming. What about some sort of commemorative trophy that can have names and awards engraved. We can keep it at Grandpa's

Well done Matt. It looks great. Should we use it on this site now or will it confuse people?

The event is coming along nicely and many people now involved. Still need more help so if you want a task then get involved.

The next committee meeting after the cricket on boxing day - at the Happy Home. Somewhere around 2-3pm. Meetings are hard to arrange at this time of year so be flexible.
