Minutes from 2014 Advent Guild meeting (20 August 2014)

[Richard Morse <pukku mac com>]

Hi! As Genni is out of the country, I took minutes at the meeting. I'm not 
sure if this is the proper format for reporting them, but it's what I've 
got.

- John called the meeting
- unless otherwise specified, all votes were voice votes by acclamation

- Membership
        - Cally nominated, and Ricky 2nd, the following new members:
                - Scott
                - Rachel
                - Pi
                - Mo
                - Myles
                - Courtney
                - Emma

- Treasurer report (Dale)
        - we have ~ $3000
        - "we're doing fine"

- Steeple-keeper report (Elaine)
        - "they're still up there"
        - "ropes are good for another year"
        - Cally asked that in the future, we try to splice in the correct 
size tail end for the bell in question (cf. the current 5)

- Church liaison (Dale)
        - Dale asked if we want to make a fuss about getting the walls 
repainted
        - Danielle, Ricky, John, Cally all note that we don't care about 
the repainting per se; we want the church to do something to stop the dust 
from coming down
        - a vague suggestion was that we might also look at doing some 
kind of work day to do things like repair the table in the resting room

- Tower Captain report (John)
        - "we've been ringing"
