We also said thank you and farewell to our committee members Paul Gibson-Roy, Stephen Bell and Bob Makinson who have finished their terms. We welcomed three new ordinary members to the ANPC management committee, Kelli Gowland and Damian Wrigley from the ACT and Cathy Offord from NSW. https://www.anpc.asn.au/annual-report/
