WOOSHC No report: 

·        D Gladen asked regarding the licence – No mention of it as they are waiting for a phone call.

·         With accreditation due, the bag area is still an issue – suggestion is that WOOSHC look at metal seats, like the ones out the back of infants, to be put out the front of WOOSHC and then have plastic covering for wet days.

·        Motion to get these seats done and money to be taken out of WOOSHC money not the General Account.
