			== Problems Identified ==

			* Lack of structured meetings
			* Lack of people
			* Lack of engagement by people
			* Lack of things wherewith to engage
			* Cage/Storage
			* No people for talks
			* SOWN is ultra monolithic

			== Planned Actions ==

			* Buy TCP trolley to transport Battery, thereby facilitating minimal outings
			** need a volunteer to buy ASDA folding trolley
			** Tyler/Freddie
			* Arrange D-Day event (Thursday the 6th of June)
			** use it also to train newer persons in radio operation
			** need access to kit (Freddie can provide)
			** coordinate with some other people
			* New books for the new syllabus
			* Get out all the mini-batteries in the cage, and test/dispose them
			* Plan entire first semester of 19/20 before the end of 18/19
			* Train newer members in radio operation (so they can run outings)
			* Identify things that may clash with our events, and avoid them as appropriate
			** Future worlds

			== Meetings in the coming weeks ==

			* Plan D-Day outing on 2019-05-30
			** D-Day outing is on 2019-06-06
			* ARDF Meeting on 2019-06-06 (after D-Day)
			** Discuss how to build and finance kit, so that we can have a Fox Hunt at the start of the year and throughout the year

			== Possible activities for the new year ==

			* Introductory meetings
			** practical stuff?
			* Outings
			** pick dates, can cancel if the weather is bad... but we have a Gazebo now...
			* Antenna building
			** slim-jims
			* Talk about exams
			** strongly encourage new members to take exams
			** arrange a date for exams early

			== Other Disorderly Minutes of Ideas Discussed ==

			=== Good Ideas ===

			* Minimal outing template:
			** at least one competent person
			*** if 2 people can spontaneously/not-spontaneously go out to the common and talk to people, then the cost of outings will be much lower
			** No car
			** (People)
			** Radio
			*** IC7000
			** Battery
			*** LIPOs?
			** Power distribution
			** String
			** Antenna
			** Coax
			* Battery transport device thing ideally on wheels and with a pulling device or something maybe
			** £7.50 ASDA trolley???
			* More easy-to-join-and-start (small) projects
			** Software stuff should be easy
			*** RTTY/Morse encoders/decoders (just for fun)
			*** IP over radio?
			** Not all with a dependence on Tyler
			* Get out ALL mini-batteries for testing and disposal (as appropriate)
			* Repeater?!?!? Why did you die??
			* Have many things going on at the start of the year to kick-start it

			=== Kit Ideas ===

			* A more compact HF radio?
			* 6m antenna
			* Compact non-portable Shack

			=== Other Ideas ===

			* Birdwatching/radio combined outings
			* Change meeting day
			* SOWN GDPs and TYPs?
			** high time requirement by someone?

			=== Lunchtime Ideas ===

			* Change meeting structure:
			** start at 18:30
			** talk at 19:00 if available
			** have definitive objectives during Workshops
