LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A TRUE RECORD.

There was really only one topic today, which was the date of the AGM. It was decided by a majority decision to change the date of Soapy’s Yuletide bash, from 21st to the 14th of Dec. Brains pointed out that this was historically the approximate date of previous parties. The AGM will be held on the same date. Soapy will provide the mince pies and appropriate accompaniments. There will be unbridled jollifications and competitions. The Chair expected the event to kick off at 10ish with 11 holes of golf using 3 clubs and a putter. In inclement weather, the party will go ahead and the AGM will take place. Kwok is the current holder of the Christmas Plate and will hand it over to Crocs on Wed., for engraving. The Cardinal volunteered to ask the caterers if they would include curry on the menu on the 14th.

FINANCE: The Fin. Sec. Reported that there could be up to £100 in subsidies for the party, depending upon the number of members who attended.

The 21 Dec. will  now be just an ordinary Monday, with all members at Liberty to attend.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 1.25.
