Incidents

Committee report
New Website discussed.
General discussion about what is needed as there is general confusion amongst the membership about the backend administrational requirements.
Set up a working group to assist Arthur and help write a full specification and source a solution and prioritise needs. Kasper expressed an interest in assisting especially as he has attempted to implement a different styled forum in the past.

Recycling
Proper stacking recycle boxes for G11 to help organising waste with better use of available sinage and space. Separate waste boxes for Wood, WEE, Glass recycling etc.
Suggestion that BV has a wood 'collection point' or bin.
