2 Business Arising:
2.1 Constitution model for our organisation - All changes from the last meeting were made with the exception of the following:

2.2 'National' email list:
2.2.1 There is now only the new 'National' list which is owned and run by the Qld CLA President. This is an egroups list called Con_National.
2.2.2 Due to a deterioration in relations between Huntress and J. Payne the Qld CLA President, Huntress suggested Dragon join the new list asap and post a message stating that her views are not necessarily the same as those held by others here in SA.

3 New Business:
3.1 Constitution model for our organisation - Amanda proposed the following changes to our current constitution model, which were agreed to:
3.1.1 Preamble:
3.1.1.1 A new preamble (copy read out and handed to the Secretary) which eliminates any reference to legality of activities.

3.3 Need to work on an application form for joining the Association.
3.4 Regular workshops to be held on the third Friday night of each month, with the first being in January 2001. A fee of $5 per person attending will hopefully allow a small payment for the person or persons running the workshop to get a small payment, with the rest going to hire of premises (likely to be Anandamide).
