AFB Fund Claims Members are reminded that any claims for compensation for hives destroyed as a result of an AFB infection during the period July 1999 to June 2000 will need to be lodged with the Secretary or Treasurer prior to the AGM on the 10th July. The amount of compensation paid is determined by resolution at the AGM, but has in the past been set at a level of 50% of the cost of a standard "A4" hive (ie $60). There are limits on the number of hives that can be claimed by any individual member in any year. Annual Subscription A proposal has been made that members who elect to receive newsletters by e-mail rather then standard post, will be offered a $5 rebate on their $20 annual membership fee. If you would like to receive your news-letter by e-mail, then please indicate when you renew your membership shortly, and supply your e-mail address to editor@beehive.org.nzAnnual General Meeting Nominations are being sought for all positions on the executive committee. Give some thought to who you would like to see involved in running the Association. If you cannot attend the meeting, provide a nomination to the Secretary or the President prior to the 10th. Don't forget that the Annual General Meeting on the 10th July will also include the mead competition. Members wishing to enter should be preparing their mead now. Entries will need to be submitted in clear round bottles of either 375 ml or standard 750 ml size. There are three classes: dry, sweet, and sparkling. |
