New Business
Potential new member Fred Baker was introduced.
Access to the college will be closed during the holidays and Raed will try to post a schedule of campus closures. Raed did not receive any response to queries on construction of a tower at the campus field but subsequently noticed construction away from the field area along the paved access road.
