MATTERS ARISING
This is the third coord meeting held for RUKK2018. The Chairman reiterated that there are likely to be adjustments to the programmes as well as costings. As it was, he did not expect the total costs for the tour to exceed RM 2,500 per pax.For purposes of offsetting some of the likely expenses, the President has agreed to contribute an amount commensurating  with his position. Even then such contribution should not discourage our other brothers from  tossing into the ‘Hat’.
Dressings. Like our annual practise, T Shirts and other attires will be prepared for the gatherings. Apai has been tasked  to coordinate this requirement and to have it ‘Produced for Issue’.
Commemorative Publications for the 50th Anniversary. A book will be published to commemorate our Golden Jubilee. JohnH was tasked to coordinate the publication with assistance from Burn, Apai, JohnRH, KD Richard and Jayanderan. Other contributions and participation would be most welcomed.
The President reminded the committee of this being our 50th anniversary gathering and should be celebrated with pomp and grandeur. He thanked the management of High Point for the use of their facilities and to all present for their participation.

Conclusion
There being no other  matters to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at about 1730 hours.
