Subject: ASSA banner for Centres

Dear Centre Chairman

At the last meeting of Council there was a proposal to provide each Centre with a banner bearing the logo of the ASSA, the object being to have a means of identifying the Society to all and sundry. This banner would be displayed at meeting venues and wherever the members are active, the idea being to indicate that there exists an umbrella body besides the local Centre.

Council asked that the Centres be canvassed for their opinions before incurring any expenditure. The banner could either be: (1) a strong wind-proof canvas type with a hem through which a rope is passed so that it can be tied to any convenient fence or railing (2) a laminated poster Obviously there is considerable difference in the cost of each (although there will be no cost to the Centres).

Kindly send me a message before 15 February 2000 indicating whether your Centre will use a banner at meetings and outings if this was provided, and preference, if any.

The next meeting of Council is on 15 February 2000.

Thank you,
Brian

A vote by show of hands indicated a majority interest in obtaining a Banner. Ed.
