General Meeting | 5 September 2018
Conducted our Annual General & General meeting last Wednesday night. It was well received with a lot of people attending. There were quite a lot of apologies, as there is quite a lot happening this time of year. A wide range of topics were discussed. We also farewelled our long standing Treasurer, Mrs Audrey Nicholson, who is stepping down. We are extremely appreciative for all her hard work over the years. We then welcomed our incoming treasurer Kathleen who has kindly stepped in to help out our group. We also held elections and welcomed our new board for the year. The group welcomed in our new Deputy Chair, Eric Rosendale, Chair:- Vincent, Treasurer Kathleen, and Secretary Trevor. They bring with them, traditional owner's and landholder perspectives to the Weeds and Feral Animals work we conduct throughout Cape York Peninsula. As soon as we submit the necessary information to the Office of Fair Trading, and ACNC, we will be posting the minutes of both our meetings.
