The minutes from last nights meeting will go up on the AOSPKC site tonight. Thanks to those who attended. Apllications will be processed tonight too. One thing that was decided was that we should remove the need for passport photographs from the application process. I have therefore ammended the application which can be found HERE.

AOSPKC now has a website. Click this sig to visit. Updates are going up daily, including a new sleaker look.

Just a quick reminder, there is a meeting of AOSPKC at The Sands Pub (opposite Pontins' on Tuesday this week at 7.30pm. See the agenda above and bring along your ideas.

small web site alterations made... please check it out and give me some feedback... more is going on tho, weather, forums etc... Rob

As you may have seen, we have requested 2 passport sized photos with each application (1 to stay on file with your application, the other to attach to your club card). Pete (Snowey) has kindly offered to bring along a Polaroid Passport camera to the meeting, Thanks Pete. Matt

The meeting is now cofirmed for 7.30pm on Tuesday 16th November at The Sands Pub on the roundabout at the beach entrance. Bring your ideas.

Thanks to those who have put PM'd questions and/or support to the AOSPKC and to my personal account. Also, a big thanks to those who have already sent your application forms (you were quick), I will contact each of you as I process them. Club cards are currently being designed, but I'm no computer wizard so these may take a while to do and dispatch. I will now use this thread for all club announcements on this forum. There will be a club meeting next week (probably Tuesday but I will confirm this later) at The Sands pub at the entrance to the beach. To be discussed: Affiliation - What this means to us. Membership - Terms and conditions of membership, promotion of membership. What you want from the club - Have a think and bring your ideas. Events - Kiting and social, again bring your ideas along. AOSPKC Venues - Do you know of any venues in the NW we could apply for club use of? Bring completed membership forms along with photos. Cheers Matt (Match) - AOSPKC Secretary
