Peter: 



Filming happening at the Day of Fun; 
Thank you everyone for volunteering to be filmed.  If you don’t want to be filmed, please let the film crew know, if you are uncomfortable with what they may ask you to do – let Peter know.

Suggestions that we could make for the filming was ‘hot work’ stuff such as portable holes, ground quivers.

If you want to be filmed (and not working with fire), please wear garb.

Catherine:
The venue / Marae where the wedding was held can be easily booked for any future events where we require a flat field, a small hall, kitchen and indoor toilets, and they don’t mind tents.  
Costs were $100 bond and $400 for 2 days of hire.  
Downside – cannot put up any hall decorations.

Meeting closed.
