As for memberships, the new membership year started on 1 July but we're not
ready to accept memberships yet (software upgrades). I will make an
announcement when we're ready.

The committee is currently considering the issue of chapter selected seats

Michelle, from my own point of view, I really don't see it as a get to know
each other thing and if that is what I considered the meeting to be, I
wouldn't bother giving up a whole weekend and traveling to Melbourne, and I
really doubt I'm the only one who would feel that way. There's a number of

the committee to get together and properly discuss a number of issues that
are difficult to discuss properly in text communication when we're all
scattered around the country.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for supporting the chapter. If you can remember the exact reasons you
decided not to join, we can talk about it. Unfortunately the membership
requirements are set down in both the Association Rules and the Victorian
legislation and there's not much flexibility. I'm personally
Just to say that I also agree with membership concerns and it's something
