Resolutions from AGM’s of ABSA and APA

Posted on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

The 2009 Annual General Meetings of the ABSA and the APA resolved that :

  • there will be no free play on Wednesday nights available during 2010.  However this will be reviewed by the ACBS Executive during the year and hopefully may be restored.
  • members’ table hireage has been amended as follows : 4 hours table hire for $10 (available all day, every day).  If patronage increases and general turnover also increases, this would help towards reinstating travel subsidies.
