We will be able to cooperate with the emerging Pontypridd Satellite Club some of whose potential members also have involvement with PONT; and we will seek a discussion with RCCB’s Youth Committee on involving our Interact and Rotaract clubs so as to maximise the impact of the special relationship.

• The Committee will continue toalertthe Club tothe need forresponsesto international emergencies.
