  far.  Copies have also been sent to all other Regions and CS asked

  Members to go through it and if they had comments/suggestions to

  forward these to him.  CS also advised that he had hoped to show

  the final version at the TPAS Conference however, it was felt that this

A.O.C.B.

• Charter Review Responses – A copy of this Report had been

  forwarded to all and some felt it showed a pretty poor response rate.

  SMcL advised that this looked worse that it actually was as both TIS

  and TPAS had held several Events with numerous attendees but

  submitted only one response which covered all.

There being no further business, CS wished all a Very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year with all hoping that 2022 would be a much

better year!
