  1. Clothing - secretary proposed that we outsource: have a supplier with an approved list of garments, maintain a list of entitled individuals on our website, let the individuals talk direct to the supplier.

Malcolm to contact a number of suppliers to see if something of this sort could be established.  Comments on the fact that the slowdown of clothing sales is due to saturation of established shooters; team managers need to encourage new members to take up clothing etc.  David mentioned that there may be some overlap with Team Badge sourcing.

  1. Team Badges (possibly overlapping with clothing)

Malcolm agreed to investigate along with clothing.  Malcolm to contact Bob for details of previous suppliers.  David suggested that Malcolm contact Sarah Christensen regarding what she discovered in the role in 2006.

  1. Minutes - secretary propose that minutes should be published on the website.  Any disciplinary issues may be exempt from publication, as will details of who voted which way in any votes.

Proposal to email draft to committee and ask each committee member to approve it: in the absence of disagreement they will be published on the website.  Target of circulation within 48 hours of meeting and agreement within 72 hours thereafter.

  1. East Midlands interaction

Chris to be at EM AGM Feb 18th.  Pietro apologised for not being able to make it.  Chris will ask the EM if they can publish/circulate their minutes in some way so as to reduce the load on the regional reps.
