Nick Thomas asked if there was a club newsletter. (There is not). Anu Chandra suggested the revival of Blitz `n' Pieces. James McGregor argued against this on finance grounds. A lively debate ensued before it was resolved on Mark Chia's suggestion for the 1999/2000 committee to deal with the matter.
There was a motion from Anu to close the Annual General Meeting.
This was passed unanimously.
