15. General Business:

[a] RE Proposal to concrete the pits - Les spoke to David Brown from  
Logan City Council, who saw no problems with concreting pits, and  
they have no current plans to move our site. Bitumen and security  
gate is going in. Debate occurred as to the costs and advantages of  
extending/concreting/re-orienting the pits, versus keeping what  
little money we have, and applying for grants to put in more formal  
structures. In any case, we need to discuss this one on site.

[b] Brian’s ECC Update: Racing day cancelled. Combat went well - 4  
rounds of slow and 5 rounds of fast. 13 entries in each class, 60  
bouts in total. Good weekend, catering idea worked well. Sec to write  
to Lyn at 2-24 Appaloosa Crt Munruben 4125 to thank for her for  
sandwiches. Thanks to everyone who helped.

[c] thanks to BB for running ECC.

[d] Discussions on Ian Garton Memorial and “Presidents Trophy”. Les  
is preparing Presidents Trophy for the Best and Fairest. Ian Garton  
Memorial brainstorming required, Les volunteered to make trophy for  
this one - more ideas next meeting - perhaps something in the field  
of racing?

[e] Two stopwatches are stuffed - need new ones. We also need half a  
dozen rubbers for starter motors. BB proposed, seconded Les.

[f] We need to straighten back posts of toilets and cement back in  
place. So... Sunday 4th November mini working-bee. 4 bags of concrete  
quickset post hole mix 20 minute stuff.

[g] Sec to apply to Robin Klau for QLD State Champs 08. We propose  
the Long Weekend in May.

[h] Tshirts - several designs by PK looked at. Some members want  
costs kept very low [$25]. All current quotes show a decent polo with  
minimal embroidery/printing to come to at least $40. Peter W and Les  
want Pockets. More designs to come, and some quotes for consideration.

[i] Next year date: 2.5cc Stunt Competition, and possible combat  
practice, scheduled for Feb 17th.

[j] PK to ask council to fix [ie cut] the grass on the fenceline. We  
could then maintain it with whipper-snippers. In lieu of this, maybe  
ALC should buy a brush-cutter?

[k] Sec to invite Ipswich members to 2nd December, via John Taylor  
[274 Toohey Rd Tarragindi], and T'Birds members via Rob Edgerton.

16. Meeting Closed at 8.53 PM
Date of Next Meeting: 13 November at Peter Wallace’s Place.
