Apologies to all members, the draft documents sent last week and the Zoom meeting scheduled for Thursday are for the opal classification committee only.

We are still waiting on the GAA notes and once both the GAA and the OA Classification Committees are happy with the submission, we will make it available to members.  

Kind Regards 

Paul Sedawie

President of the Opal Association
