We had some confused members there. Ken White was in attendance. But it was not the end of the month, or Friday fives.
Paul Belcaster also made a rare appearance.
The first day back, and clearly many of us were still in holiday mode, quite a few still at the beach, or at least unable to bestir themselves for an early start.
Eric presided , in his inimitable style, starting proceedings with the loudest rapping noise it is possible to produce from a mere table.
Dave Woodhouse then told us about the great effort made by h
im and Wayne Shadbolt to produce a club member handbook, and then proceeded to produce evidence of their feat, in the shape of handbooks for all present. A fantastic effort, make sure you get yours if you missed out. He apologised in advance for any errors, and then added that it had been proof read by Ursula, who managed to add an error or 2.
The Cricket volunteers were reported to have done a great job, and most had an enjoyable night as well. Volunteers are still required for 28 January, and 28 February. Contact Barbara to volunteer.
Mr Cricket, aka Chris Rapson pointed out that the under 19 world cup, running for the next couple of weeks at the bay oval featured free attendance.
Eric then explained that the meeting did not include a speaker, just inter member chat. Ken objected, on the grounds that free chat, in his experience, required copious quantities of alcohol, and this material was noticeable by it’s absence. Probably just as well.
The raffle winner was Dave Woody, a minor reward for his efforts on the member handbook.
