6. Business arising:
6.1 Fairbairn track - Dave Clifton and John Walker had visited Fairbairn and checked out a suggested layout of the track, which would be 300m in length. It would present opportunities for riders to learn a wide range of techniques because of its size, shape and geography. Because it has to be fitted into the pre-existing dirt track, the speedway track would have comparatively long straights and tight bends - more like a British track than the majority of Australian tracks (almost exactly the same dimensions as Oxford). Adding to the uniqueness of the layout is a gentle slope, which would have solo riders going slightly downhill into turn one, up through turn two and the back straight, with a downward slope again from turn three to the chequered flag. The possibility of a junior track inside would also exist. Generous spectator areas and all facilities would overlook the track, and existing dirt-track fencing would appear adequate. Some earthworks and track surface will be necessary, and the Club understands that the ACTMCC will be organising equipment soon.
6.2 Affiliation to MNSW: as we are now into the New Year, we will proceed to affiliate with MNSW. This will allow us to take advantage of their Officials Licensing programme as soon as possible.
7. Secretarys Report:

9.2 Surfair Speedway (Moruya) appears to be back in business after a period of turbulence. President Martin Vidgen has asked for our help in getting the circuit back into operation. Greg will liaise with Martin.
9.3 Future Committee meeting location and dates. While the Austrian club is very pleasant and has served us well since the demise of the Serbian Club, there is nowhere that we can sit quietly and discuss Club matters, other than in one of the public areas. We will check out other options. The meetings would also change to the second WEDNESDAY of every month.

There was a large turnout, we got 12 new members and over 40 names on a petition to bring back speedway to Canberra. The club made $718 through the sausage sizzle, the raffle and an auction of Jim's memorabilia. Thanks also to Lee, we scored a place on Win News plus quite a number of prime time advertisements.
7. Secretary's Report:
Nil
8. Treasurers report:
$718 newly added to the accounts - firmly in the black for the first time in the Club's short history.
7. General Business:
Dave Clifton noted that he had (finally!) managed to contact Graham Monte, President of the Fairbairn Motorsports Complex regarding the current status of the Ex-TQ speedway track. Still seems to be uncertain, but we need to contact the Go-Kart Club, that seems to have had plans for some of the adjacent land. Dave would make the necessary enquiries.
Steve and Dave reported on a meeting with a local Civil Engineering company that has offered land-fill and earthmoving assistance.
Discussion on how to extend and use the Petition.
Lake George land option - still on the agenda. Need to organise a field trip to assess the possibilities.
Greyhound track - need to arrange a visit for Greyhound Club Committee members to Gosford's February race meet. Dave will be on the programme.
David Wheatley explained his racing background (Victorian ex-rider with British League experience, familiar with the effort needed to get speedway up and running in the Latrobe Valley), and emphasised the need to assemble a "strategic planning document" that could be circulated to government agencies. It is particularly important to stress the positive impact on local young people. It was also worthwhile getting spectator numbers to emphasise the level of interest in the sport. John walker undertook to produce a first draft planning document.
With Jim and Susan Smith returning home to Scotland, the Committee took the opportunity to thank them both for their energetic support for the club, and looked forward to further collaboration between Canberra and Edinburgh speedway clubs.

Lee to get in touch with Peter Dimmick to see if he will put a junior bike on display. Steve to arrange for a couple of TQs to be available. From the discussion there appears to be plenty of memorabilia to put up.
2. Acting Chair, Greg stated that something positive had to be done, all the talking in relation to a track is getting us nowhere. All agreed that we push on with trying to secure the old TQ track at the Fairbairn complex. Dave stated that since the first discussion with President Monte FPCC there had be no return of calls. Secretary offered that it is probably because of his involvement and offered to withdraw from the club if it would help. The possibility of property adjacent Lake George looks promising and Steve will follow this up with Paul House. Lee stated that he has a meeting with Andrew Barr next week and would try and pursue all avenues with him including the Greyhound track.

4. Everyone who rides for the Canberra Bulls must be a member of the club.
5. The date and time for this meeting was discussed at length but because of the poor turnout of members to this meeting it was suggested that we revert to Thursday nights. The low turnout raises the extent to which members are committed to the progress of the club.
