Subject: MINUTES OF ROCKSOC EGM - 14/6/2001
Dear all,
Apologies for the extreeme lateness of these minutes - I'd blame lack of
internet access at home and being very busy, but there's an element of
being disorganised in there as well... Sorry.
MINUTES OF ROCKSOC EGM
14 June 2001
1/ The President thanked everyone for attending and read through the

2/ Financial Report
The Senior Treasurer still hadn't returned the report, but Emma said that
since the AGM a couple of checks had gone out for the Bedoin and Killing
Miranda Kigs, and others had come in both from the proceeds of those gigs
and from WUS takings. A full report will go up on the website at some
point.
