Meeting 1152, hosted by Peter G. attracted 28 members and the welcome return of international traveller Morris P.  The meeting got off to a later  than usual start even though Pres. JB claimed that he left home at 11am.

The early arrivals seemed to commandeer the very comfortable lounge seats at the rear and Ralph K, Ron H., Brian W were noted  observing proceedings  between naps but respectfully  not rolling jaffas.

Apologies came thick and fast and I picked up Mike L.,Ted S., Lou S., Wally B., Mary Ann and Ken R..,Graham R., Mike B. Sorry if I missed you.

Previous Minutes  mentioned Gary G's 300th Meeting, TC Birthdays and it was noted that there were three in a numerical row , and Bill J. (described as a meticulous old chap) had two in the same month. Brian W. was asked to consider an update of the membership list.

Within 2 weeks he was the proud & enthusiastic owner of a TC. Halliday followed the trend 6 months later.  Mike S. said his secret to longevity was watching Col grow old.
