7    Business Arising

7.1  Treasurers Report - Stuart
     

7.2  Stickers - David
     The maximum width of the sticker should be the same as the width of
     an A4 page - 210 mm. The maximum height should be less than 1/3 of
     an A4 page. I suggest 90 mm maximum. I suggest we get 200 mm or 205
     mm stickers. As for the slogan, try these out:
        ·    save fuel - ride a bike
·    give a cyclist a metre
·    save money while you exercise - ride a bike
·    pedal power not petrol power
·    save the environment - ride a bike
     The stickers should include the BT web address and PO box in small
     letters, and also the BT logo. The logo should be as large as
     possible.

7.3  Insurance Mix Up - Stuart
     Stuart had a phone call from Cycling Australia along the lines that
     1) our members aren’t insured due to some mix up on CA’s part and 2)
     we haven’t paid enough in individual membership fees.
