    • AGM Sponsorship
    • The Victorian Section has sponsored the even with $250 towards the prize-draw.
    • We plan to have prizes including an iPod 'nano' and three USB memory sticks.
    • Further sponsorship has been sought from Telstra and NEC.
    • A motion was moved to allow the Branch to provide additional funds for the prize pool if no further sponsors are found. The motion was passed.

  4. Financial Report

    • We have enough money in the account to sponsor the AGM prize pool and partly cover participants' dinner costs. This will leave the amount in the account for the incoming 2006 committee similar to our opening balance in 2005.
