Cairns GSF agenda & minutes. 7/4/18

CAIRNS GSF 7/4/18 3.30 PM AT GIRL GUIDE HALL BEFORE SAT MEETING.

AGENDA ITEMS.

1 To decide on GSF delegate to represent Cairns at the LSC on 26&27/5/18 in Lawnton.

2 FUND FLOW… HOW TO RAISE AWARENESS.

This is from the board in an effort to have a QLD area wide conversation on the topic.

in some countries , the sec reads the groups financial report after each meeting. If not it is viewed unfavourably.

Do you think it’s a reasonable thing to do? I.e. read the financial report after meeting.

How do you have the conversation about fund flowing without challenging a groups autonomy?

3. WHAT DO WE WANT THE DELEGATE TO TAKE TO THE LSC?.

4. DO WE WANT ANOTHER TRADITIONS WORKSHOP? If so

Which tradition and what venue and when.?
