1. The minutes of the last AGM were confirmed.

   David Keegel suggested that the rejection of a formal regional structure in item 9 was not actually unanimous, but there is no doubt that the proposal was rejected.




2. Reports were presented by:

   Andrew Herbert - President

   Nick Langmaid - Secretary

   Mark Newton - Adelaide region

   Phil Homewood - Brisbane region

   Tony Galliford - Canberra region

   Andrew Herbert - Melbourne region

   Shane Alderton - Sydney region

   Nick Langmaid - representing the treasurer

   A mistake was found in the report presented on behalf of the treasurer. Although this report accurately reflects the current financial position of APANA, it only shows transactions for July and August 1994. The treasurer will be asked to provide the report for the twelve months to 30 June 1994, and a replacement "annual report" will be distributed to all members.

   [Secretary's note: The mistake was made by me when compiling the annual report. Felicity did post the correct report to apana.announce several months ago.]




3. The new Management Committee was elected.

   President

   Shane Alderton

   Vice-President

   Mark Newton

   Treasurer

   Gail Lidden

   Secretary

   Geoffrey Newman

   Ordinary Members

   Leigh Hart

   Mark Purcell




4. The Treasurer's Report presented was accepted as an accurate statement of APANA's current financial position. Approval was granted to replace it with the correct twelve-month report described in (2) above and allow that to be submitted by APANA in accordance with section 30(3) of the Act.




5. After Mark Newton explained the history of the Adelaide region, the meeting determined that Mike Bruins' exceptional role in the development of the region should be recognized by making him an Honorary Member of APANA.




6. It was agreed that the next Annual General Meeting will be held in Adelaide during 1995, with the exact date to be determined by the management committee.




7. Paul Fyfe moved a vote of thanks to the outgoing management committee and this was approved by the meeting.

The Annual General Meeting ended at approximately 3.30pm to be followed by refreshments and the Special General Meeting.

Please address any questions or corrections of these minutes to the Management Committee.
