Firstly we had our normal monthly meeting, reporting on the pro & con's of the proposed new parks for the Golden Triangle, The Great National Park in East Victoria and what the Maryborough Council ideas of turning the whole of the GoldenTriangle into a World Wide Heritage Park for tourism.
There was also a motion put forward for 2 new recruitment drive ideas to get more new Branch members. Both of these were passed.
