[Melbourne-pm] The end of an Association

[Scott Penrose]

Sorry Andrew,

I made a bad assumption that everyone knew what we were talking about  
from last years meeting.

Melbourne Perl Mongers is part of Perl Mongers (pm.org) and will  
remain that way.

Melbourne Perl Mongers Association is a Victoria, Australia  
Association - a legal entity. We created the legal entity for a bank  
account (and other reasons). The legal entity is all we want to stop -  
i.e. The Association (a not for profit legal entity in Australia used  
for clubs etc).

Melbourne Perl Mongers will continue to exist as it always has.

OSDC will then be able to provide us effective use of Bank Accounts  
(well they will probably just give us money on request if it is  
sensible).

Very sorry about the confusion.

Scott
