Discussion notes arising from General Meeting 16th February 2017:
· To take to CoCA: BDM Conflict of interest: BDM is cutting into our business and they have no OPD or Registration Fees to pay. Their hours should be Mon-Fri 9am-4pm and no weekends.
· OPD dates for PCA (with AssenTECS):
19th March 2017, Virginia Palms
7th October, Bus Tour Redcliffe area
Members queried why we have OPD in these months, as they are peak wedding season.
· BDM email updates out to celebrants, but as they don’t have everyone’s email addresses – you can ask to be on their mailing list.
· Request made to have a Q&A at the end of every meeting
· Angi Young and Rosie Arnold to send individual email to members who have not yet registered on the website so that we can start using the MailChimp feature for our PCA correspondence
