7. Dave Butler noted that Rhian Bradley has been undertaking extensive fund raising efforts by looking for prizes for a raffle or tombola from the likes of Marks and Spencer and St Davids Park. The committee have noted their thanks to Rhian for her hard work and would like her to become the club fundraising officer if she wants to take the role as she is doing such a good job!
