Dear friends who have been listed below as Area Representatives,

All Malacca residents in the OC did a great job in making members feel welcomed with their great hospitality.

Members felt that the first meeting of the OC was fruitful as all participants were very co-operative and Malaccan Kirkbyites were knowledgeable and competent in the areas assigned to them.

Notes:

I.                     As there are many Kirkbyites spread all over Australia, it was felt that it would not be fair to Jim and Mimi Lee to be appointed as Area Representatives for the whole continent. Hence, we have assigned them Sydney and nearby areas such as Canberra and Brisbane.

II.                   Where there is a need for an Assistant Area Representative, the name of the nominee should be forwarded to the Chairman/Secretary for confirmation.

III.                  Any appointee who does not object to the Area Rep appointment is deemed to have accepted it.

 

3.  Work of the Area Reps

3.1  Be the contact person for Kirkbyites in his/her area through email/snail-

       mail/telephone.

3.2  Disseminate important information from 08 Reunion Organising Committee.

3.3  Help to register participants as a group, if possible, to cut down on

       administrative work.

3.4  Collect payment and transfer group payment directly to Treasurer, if

       possible. This will help to lighten the Treasurer’s workload.

 

4.    Duration & Dates for 08 Reunion

 3 days & 2 nights from Thursday, July 10, 2008  to Saturday, July 12, 2008.

      The dates had been confirmed as suitable by Kirkbyites in Australia, NZ and

      Malaysia

      Committee in July/August 07.
