News

On 18 Sep 2008 we held our Annual General Meeting. The society voted to remove the roles of Community Officer, Project Officer, and one of the three General Officers. A new role of Marketing Officer was created. A new committee was also voted in by the society. See the Contact Us page for a list of the new committee members.

Thanks to a $5000 grant from the Lion Foundation we have purchased an enclosed trailor, for getting all our gear to events.

The society has also purchased an A4 laser printer that can print duplex A5 booklets. We are offering cheap printing as a service to all projects and affiliates. For the moment only black & white printing is available, but colour will be available later.
