MINUTES OF LAST WEEK’S MEETING APPROVED.

MATTERS ARISING:

1. The Comic ventured that the Comp. Sec. had ” Made a rod for his own back with his ruling over last week’s Club Championship.”

2. Comp. Sec. immediately offered his resignation which was overruled by the Executive.

3. The newly reinstated Comp. Sec. was showered with praise in an attempt to repair his bruised ego. Adjectives such as omnipotent, final arbiter and safe and capable hands were proffered to further bolster his decision making credibility.

4. The Comp. Sec. had been assured by Crocs that it would be impossible to attach a big enough badge with three engraved names onto the sacred and revered Chalice.

5. The Comp. Sec. Will give great thought to deciding the outcome of the Chalice replay as well as future competitions in the event of a tie.

BUSINESS OF THE DAY:

1. The Chair announced that Delboy had confirmed that the polo shirts were top notch quality and would be knocked out at cost price.

2. The polo shirt sub committee did not report as promised, due to the enforced absence of the Cardinal, who was playing for the team.

3. The Comic who had to leave early due to previous commitments, will enquire as to the optimum time for a bowling day at his club in Gosforth. He will report back as soon as possible.

4. There was some discussion about the Christmas Party. Will the caterers still be trading? Did the MOHGS want a sit down meal? Should we consider going for a curry? Do we revert to providing a shared table? Are we willing to pay a little more for a more substantial buffet at which we could graze at leisure?

Many questions but as yet there is no one willing to grasp the nettle and nail his colours to the mast or take a punt on any of the options. This dilemma has legs.

There being no other business, the meeting closed at 1.15pm.
