 * Discussion about contacting Tas members - waiting on new join form etc.
 * Peter expressed concern that Brendan may be overcommitting himself and wondered if he needed help or anything getting the join form done.
 * This is not to be construed as demanding or whining, it's genuine concern that our members don't burn out ;-)
