MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
Carol explained to the meeting that she had made an appointment to see an Accountant concerning the accounts and will report back to Alasdair Muir and Rose Wills once they have been completed.
A discussion was held regarding the Tarbes race and John Wills agreed that he would honour the suggestion he made by paying any loss on the Tarbes race once the accounts had been completed. This was left on the table to discuss at a later date.
