MATTERS ARISING (from decisions and actions from August meeting):

National Conference on 1st October, 2022.

Invitations to members were sent out from both the National and Wellington
Branches. This year’s Conference is a ‘hybrid’ of both online and ‘in-person’
activities.
Lut Hermans also offered a workshop for the Conference, working with clay.
There was however, little response or interest, so a decision was made not to
proceed with a Wellington Branch organised activity. Members will be notified
that the workshop will not proceed. However, they can participate individually if
they wish.The National Branch will send a link to the Conference to attend a
zoom talk with guest speaker, Joan Sleigh (South Africa), or other parts of the
online Conference.

The Committee unanimously agreed to co-opt Uta Stoll-Kuwilsky and

Herbert Wolpert.
