Adrians Bench. Russell reported he had spoken to the landowner and agreed arrangements regarding bench removal and reinstating the site and is progressing where it will go next.
Club Trailer. It was suggested that the Club should look into the purchase of a box trailer, say 6 meter, for the storage and transporting of Club equipment but the issue of where such a trailer could be stored would need to be considered.
Steven kindly offered the use of two large sheds on his site at Rowra to store equipment which was accepted and was asked to get prices to fix doors and locks to make them secure. Richard asked to look into the price of trailers.
Richard proposed that we run a Rally Test Championship in 2018 hopefully using 4 different venues and outlined what he had in mind. It was agreed we would take this forward. Richard provided more details as to how it might run and proposed dates for each round. Richard and Russell said they would look for possible sites and report back at the next meeting.
