Minutes: February 2004 meeting

Apologies – Grant Tatham, Ken Anderson

Previous minutes: accepted

General Business
Weather stations.  John Nelson currently has the Mt Climie box.  The Paekakariki box needs replacing.  When the next "parawaiting" trip to Mt Climie occurs can Lloyd be advised.

Danger of undone leg straps
Mark Bailey suggested that a way of emphasing the dangers of undone leg straps was to organise a "hang" competition at a training session.  Have people hang by their armpits to demonstrate how difficult it is to get back inthe harness, and that it could only be done for a relatively short time span.

WOF stickers
Discussion was had about having WOF stickers to comply with the Operations Manual.  Kris to organise a "WOF stamp"

Wind sock at Paekakariki
The wind sock needed to be installed at Paekakariki - a ladder was required.

Meeting closed 9.00pm.
