COMMITTEE SCRIBBLES

I hope that you have enjoyed reading the latest edition of our newsletter.  As I am sure you can see we have another packed work party calendar culminating in the bi-annual holiday in May/June.

The main focus of the recent committee meetings has been assisting Nick and Trudie with the production of the social and work party calendars.  We are always looking for leaders for both social events and work parties, if you would be able to give up some of your time to undertake either of these roles please let Trudie or Nick know.  As I am sure you are aware without the assistance from the members who lead these activities they would not happen.

The group is also looking to get some more clothing produced, if you have a view on the type or the colour then please let Carol know.  This is going to be the type of clothing that can be worn on a worksite (so the brighter the better).  We have still got some clothing left from our last 2 orders, if you would like any of the following let me know (any reasonable offer accepted):
• 2 large green t-shirts
• 1 medium green t-shirt
• 2 medium dark blue fleece (full zip)
They have been in my cupboard for a long time now and are looking for a new home.

We have also a large number of leaflets that the group printed last year (they are in my cupboard as well).  If anyone knows of a good outlet for our leaflets then please let me or any member of the committee know.  We are coming into the time of year when we get most of our new members.  At the start of the year people seem to make resolutions of carry out conservation work and hopefully the weather will start to improve soon.

Finally we are also coming to the end of our year (this finishes at the end of February).  For those of you that have done more than 50 hours you should be getting your NT volunteer cards in March.  This entitles you to free entry to NT properties and also a discount in the NT shops and cafes.  Our AGM also takes place in April, if anyone would be interested in joining the committee please let me know.  The AGM is well worth coming along to, the formalities are always kept to a minimum and the talks are always very interesting, we also provide free tea and coffee, I hope to see you soon.

Ian
