--A different venue for the conversation get-together was discussed and Volker Scheer kindly agreed to investigate further possibilities.
--Ernst Leube introduced our new yellow AGC advertisement posters which come in 3 different sizes. With these posters our club will try to promote new membership. The posters are meant to be an initial introduction. Interested persons can get more information on our website. The small posters can be handed to interested people. The bigger ones can be distributed in various places like shops and supermarkets. Each member should take 5 or 6 copies to spread them around Freiburg and the surrounding area. Let’s hope we’ll get some response and win new members! Grateful thanks are due to Roy Murray, Brigitte Heilmann and Guy Cumes, the team put in charge of carrying out this undertaking.
