numbers based on Westpac's offerings. Balances Gen $5384.10, FTT
$695.39, COH $100 (our cheq to ourselves). Still haven't had a statement
from CST, probably a balance of $0.98 owing, but may also be a double
payment and we should get money back. Domesday report progressing.

students, $10 students. Ice skating next month. Still looking for bids for St
Jude's.

Chronicler: May and June FTTs out. $105 in $91.98 out. Photo covers well

Canterbury Faire: (Eleonora and Cristia) Del requests bus leaves his place
cos of parking (no problem). All in progress, ads out soon. Request for
volunteers, esp. classes etc.

General Business

Registry: Del suggests the possibility of having a local NZ registry would
reduce membership costs (by splitting off newsletter sub, and including a
local NZ newsletter). Lochac has the software for this. Del is to look into
what the costs would be for us under a system like this and report back to
the next meeting.

Music Centre: All bookings have been cleared up. Please from now on, if
you are using this site, get all arrangements and changes to arrangements
in writing, as they tend to muck up a lot.

CDs: Del brought back quotes on the dance CDs. Del he will pick up at
Pennsic or purchase and we will reimburse him. Also offered copies of other
music that is free or cost of royalty only. Del also offers a sound system,
Sigurd to investigate speakers.

Lochac: has voted to go kingdom. Ulf suggests we should consider joining
them. Cristia notes that no formal approach has been made by Lochac, and
if they are interested in us, Ulf is requested to direct any inquiries from them
to council.

Meeting closed 8.48 pm.
