A complete listing of Board members and the new committee structure can be found under the News section of the website entitled “Meet the Board”.

A presentation was given to those present by Steve Jewell and Steve Southern following significant work that has been undertaken to upgrade the website. It was proposed that a search engine be introduced so that all plumbers, carpenters, etc can be found by category and member’s details are then made available once a web page has been developed by MediaMasters. There are 3 levels of web pages available along with an opportunity to advertise on these pages and MediaMasters will contact members individually to establish which level of web page they may require. An increase of information/articles will be placed on the website on a regular basis with web links to various websites. Following the presentation these proposals were adopted as part of the Business Plan for the coming year.
