Addendum by L B Baker 6-23-2011:

I was not present at the meeting due to temporary illness.

The issue of the Athlete's Fund was not settled so it will be discussed again at the AGM in 2012.

The issue of two separate Nationals, Raw and Equipped, was not settled at the meeting.  After speaking with the majority of concerned board members it was decided not to have two separate Nationals at this time.  The regular APC Nationals, Raw and Equipped, will be held by L B Baker in or near Atlanta Georgia in June 2012.
