Following phone calls and emails to clarify this situation, it was noted that one of theses cheques had been processed by the MAAA and the other for $11.00 had not gone through. It was agreed that another Cheque for $11.00 would be written and a letter sent to the MAAA Treasurer with these details and a copy of the Bank Statement. Secretary to attend.

The Secretary submitted a claim for reimbursement for the purchase of flowers, which were sent to Mrs. Sylvia Grinham, ($114.95) and for the purchase of stamps and ink cartridges ($78.98)

This was passed for payment and a cheque for the total amount was given to the Secretary.

CLAS Stickers and Badges.

Members should receive a CLAS sticker each year when they renew their membership, and it appears that there have been those who have missed out. The Secretary is happy to send these on to the Club Secretaries for distribution to those who did not receive them with their card. Also, if Clubs have new members this financial year, who did not receive a badge, please let the Secretary know and she will post these to the members.

CLAS Calendar for 2018.

Dates have now been provided and drafts have been sent out. There have been a number of changes and the addition of various events, and once these are put on the Calendar, the Secretary will send it on to Brian, who will format it and colour code the events. It is hoped that the Calendar will go out before Christmas.

2018 Nationals.

There was general discussion on the Nationals, to be held at West Wyalong next year and financial arrangements. Event co-ordinators need to be firmed up and Bruce will contact the various people in this regard. Questions were raised about possible assistance for those officials who were not flying in any events, and the various fields to be used for Control Line. Bruce will be in touch with the Free Flight folk to discuss any of the questions raised.

All Nationals accounts for 2017 appear to have been presented and paid and the Secretary will now send a letter to the VMAA, requesting reimbursement of those payments from the Nationals subsidy, received by the VMAA for the 2016 Nationals, of which the NSW Nationals were a part.
