OperatingProfilesTask:

Resulting from last meeting's discussions, Brett distributed "operating profile" documents for Snowmobile and Traffic Control. The points were discussed in detail. The value of such operating profile documents was agreed. We will try to do a new one each meeting preparing for the likely activities in the season ahead.

2010-06-15

to do: Brett to bring examples of profiles
