  15. AOB  It was noted that Robina and other staff are benefitting from the loaded modem that was presented to her by the Golfing Ladies.  We are hoping that they might repeat this donation.  Janet is finding it much easier for communicating with the staff, it means that Evans can delegate to others because they can communicate directly with me. (art club, gap year students, pads and panties project)  It also makes the production of the newsletter much easier.
