Minutes of the last executive meeting
Minutes of the last executive meeting were distributed. One amendment: a

Correspondence Out:

Schools report:
Given by R Bright. He outlined details of how the national
schools competition is to be run in 1996. He suggested that we correspond with
the NZSDC saying that we are happy with the proposed changes and look
forward to an active year ahead. Wayne expressed concerns: that schools can
be part of the NZSDC but the ADA cannot (by Alex Gillespie's definitions).
Wayne is therefore to draft a letter saying that we are pleased with the positive
steps and challenge them to include the ADA and other like organisations. If
they will not, ask for the reasons why.
Finances:
