Please let the Secretary have any motions for the Annual General Meeting by the
end of August so that the agenda can be typed and run off in time.

REPLACEMENT DUPLICATOR
Our old gestetner has been giving trouble for some years. The Cheapest replacement costs £300 plus 15% VAT for a new machine or around £100 + VAT at 15% for a refurbished machine. As Club funds do not extend to this the committee would welcome contributions towards the cost of a replacement machine. We are also in need of advice about which machine to get. The Roneo 270 - £287 + VAT, the Gestetner 145 - £309 + VAT? Is a refurbished machine reliable? Would a spirit duplicator do? etc.
Send monetary contributions to the Treasurer, advice to the Secretary.
RECORD PLAYER

Square Dance etc.
