Any other business

Discussion on proposal to have bi-monthly meetings in future.  Decision to try this  for the coming 6 months, therefore next meeting on Thursday 17th May and
bi-monthly thereafter.   Clive raised the point that allocated tasks may get neglected if not meeting for two months. Therefore suggestion that all those with tasks contact Warren to keep him up-dated on progress in between meetings so the momentum of the group is not lost.

Meeting finished at 8.10pm and then followed by a very informative talk on Bats by Roger Harvard.
