It was resolved at the AGM that our family membership would be reworded and the limitation of 2 removed. This means a family unit would be accepted under the $70 fee at the discretion of the management group.

 At the discussion about Youth Art at the platform it was suggested we explore a youth risk assessment before further discussions. Cathy holds a CS officer position with another organisation and is prepared to help us. 

 People are encouraged to consider applying for funds to support gallery activities in 2020.

On Thursday 8th June personnel from Department Infrastructure and Transport  and Ventia visited the Railway Station and Gallery to assess how things might be improved. Discussion included replacing glass with perspex.... (other additional features can't be added due to the heritage listing of the building).
