The revised WOPs constitution was approved.
After completion of business, Kathryn Jones gave an interesting presentation on the history and present status of Tiritiri Matangi Island. The photos of the resident bird life were spectacular.

We finished the evening with a magnificent supper, once again well catered by Sylvia.
Thank you to all who helped with the AGM meeting and to everyone who attended. It was an enjoyable meeting!
