Enrolment Day Processes
Chair-Mark King: To formally review the processes for the Enrolment Day 2022 and make recommendations to the Committee of Management (CoM), for improvements.
We recommend that we have a “flow” of mask-wearing-members, all physical distancing, as they enter and leave St Mary’s. Everything will be conducted in the Hall, with everywhere else off-limits, wherever possible.
We also recommend that renewing members pay subscriptions online wherever possible, citing their member number so we can allocate payments correctly.
Remember: it’s just $15 per year for the Newsletter (The BUZZ) to be mailed to you.
