Early indicators are that a good number of you intend to participate and for any who have yet to commit, I encourage you to consider attending. In the past, the AGM has usually been held at our Melbourne office, obviously this has made it difficult for non-Victorian members to attend, so we look forward to accommodating more Australia wide attendees this year. The AGM itself will follow a more disciplined structure than has perhaps occurred in the past. This is to reflect the expected larger numbers of attendees and as we are now a CLG, this also brings with it increased procedural responsi- bilities. At the same time, we want to provide opportunities for members to participate. We hope to see you there. The situation in Victoria The COVID situation, in this state particularly, is tragic and we certainly feel for our members and their families who are going through a very difficult time. Restrictions on movement, and the difficulties created by this, affect every aspect of life as we know it. For everyone’s sake in Victoria, we pray for a speedy end to this ordeal.
