-need to have regular meetings at a regular venue to get more people to make it to meetings. Meeting at the pub went well but not conducive to getting a lot of work done. Fiona to send Anne an up to date list to identify people who could become active members. Fiona to develop a script for talking to new members. It was messy to sign people up with BNB then try and get them to join CAN. Is the key point to do it by emails/website. Meetings from 2nd Tuesday of the month from now on- does this clash with road cycling?Tasman Regional Land Transport Strategy and Plan

Road Safe Nelson Bays
Meeting next week. Motueka/ Vanguard street remains an issue. Gladstone/ SH6 intersection lights are proposed. Traffic is building up back to the rugby filed. How do cyclists cross over to turn right off Gladstone Road into Oxford Street. Ranzau Road- changing how trucks join the road- its 70km/h past the school. Speed linit should be down to 50km/h. and enforced. More 40km/hr zones
