• SMIX Bash 2019: Accounts completed, with a half-share of the loss received from IMarEST.
• SMIX Bash 2020: Committee has met by video-conference, and planning proceeding on the assumption that the Bash will go ahead in December; letter to sponsors in preparation and to be sent ASAP.
• TM Program: RINA presentations all signed up for 2020 and IMarEST in progress; video-conferencing of technical presentations attracts an order of magnitude more participants than face-to-face meetings, so live streaming and webcasting of recordings is looking good when we return to face-to-face meetings; “Thank you” bottles of wine may now be delivered easily by eGift card in these CIVI-19 restricted times.
• Walter Atkinson Award 2019–20: Candidates for the award were discussed and two nominations decided for advice to Australian Division Council.
• Committee Meetings: Rather than revert to face-to-face meetings when social-distancing restrictions are eased, it was decided to continue future meetings by video conference.
