Old Business:

1. Inventory outstanding.
2. Budget outstanding.

3. Sebastian proposes the following: (to be presented at the Sept. general meeting).

   That the club allocate an amount of $500 as a prize to be drawn
   in Sept 2009 from "credit" tickets. The $500 will be cash but the
   winner is advised to spend it to explore a new field of Ham radio that
   he / she might be interested in. This proposal is only for the year Oct
   2008 till Sept 2009 and have to be re-submitted again in Oct 2009.

   Note: The reason why I came up with $500: It is affordable to the club
   but still enough for a member to buy a starter HF rig – so I think that
   is a happy medium.

   The rules are:
   1) Competition are open to club members only.
   2) The winner will be determined by a "lottery" in Sept 2009 (at the
   election meeting) and the winner has to be present to win.
   3) The entries going into the hat to be drawn will be tickets with each
   ticket being worth 10 credits.
   4) Credits are loosely equivalent to number of hours spent on the
   various club activities and the number of credits for a specific
   activity has to be determined and published before the activity
   commences.
   5) All members will get the same amount of credits for a specific
   activity irrespective of the actual time spent on site e.g. 5 credits
   for field day if you spend between 1 and 24 hours at the site.
   6) Board members are eligible for credits and the drawing but does not
   get credit for board meetings.

   Some suggestions (to be debated) for the credit values would be:

   a) New members gets a joining bonus of 5 credits.
   b) Each general meeting – 1 credit.
   c) Field day 5 credits.
   d) Picnic – 3 credits.
   e) LarcFest duties – 5 credits

New Business:

1. Sebastian to get 5 people to present a show and tell for the meeting of the 17th.

   1. President – open.
   2. Vice president – open.
