A number of motions were considered, all proposed by the Section Committee:

A: That the Section, recognising the enormous value of its members being able to use computer equipment and games owned by the Dart Computer Club during Friday socials, Saturday informal socials and after many cycle rides, should make a donation of £90 towards Computer Club funds on the understanding that all Computer Club equipment and games will then be made freely available to CTC members during the coming year.

The motion was carried.

B: That the entry charge to all Friday social activities should be increased to 40p to ensure that further donations of perhaps £20-£30 per year may be made to the Computer Club for as long as members continue to use the equipment.

Dayle noted that no contribution was being made towards the cost of Michael’s electricty bills, but Michael said that he was happy to continue making no charge for electricity for the coming year.

There was some discussion about raising the charge to 50p, but it was generally agreed that this may prevent some youngsters from attending.

The motion was carried.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS

1. An ice-skating social and a swimming social were proposed for Plymouth Pavillions. Michael said he would include these in the spring programme if possible.

There being no further business to discuss, the meeting closed at 8.45pm.
