50/50 Auction
There was further discussion about how this would be organised. Idea still planned for Spring 2012.
Auction needs to be very well publicised in advance.
Sponsored walk & Canal Anniversary
Idea revisited once more. Concern that we may have too many events in a short time in Spring/Summer.
Suggestion from Anna (post-meeting) that we combine the sponsored walk with the Canal Anniversary
celebrations. Anna/Nancy to feedback on canal meetings attended?
Beer & band night
Anna to supply Kate with list of people to thank. Band need particular thanks.
