Hi,
Notes from last meeting below.
Model constitution attached for agreement on 23rd October.
We need a constitution for the bank and anyway it's a good idea to state what we stand for and to be clear about how we work together.
If anyone has major resevations about it let me know so that I can allocate sufficient time for it to be discussed
Regards
Bristol Branch Palestine Solidarity Campaign
