  1. MELBOURNE WATER – Gerard Morel
    1. Forrest Street. Issues about access have stalled the Regional Rail Link planting.

  1. GENERAL BUSINESS;
    1. Potential new venue could be the North Sunshine Tennis Club which has the advantage of being fee. Its in Phoenix Street, not far from a bust stop at the Footscray end of the VUT campus.  A letter needs to go to them to see if we can use their venue.
    2. There is a need to try to get new members so at some stage a membership drive will be needed to generate interest in the community.
