Present: Allison, Andrew, Anfony, Ben, Tony, Rob, Wigan Johnny
Apologies: Sybille

Minuted by Andrew, as under-secretary.

1. The first meeting of 1998 was opened by Andrew, as Ben hadnt arrived from the Co-Op.
   


2. Allisons bike lights are not functioning
   


3. College bills are compared. Andrew has the biggest one. And a large bill..
   


4. Whenever anyone talks to Allison they mention Dave or CompScis, she says. Yes, she actually admits this.
   


5. Where is Vicky... no-one has seen her?
   


6. Vote to censure the Pembroke computer staff for not providing enough paper for the printer, so preventing Andrews flyers from coming into actuality.

   Motion passed
   


7. Rob arrives
   


8. The world Poohsticks championships are discussed. Can we get a team to enter? Could we have team T-shirts? Could we get to the Cholsey and Walingford Railway which is nearby....
   


9. A piece of junk mail sent to Boltolph Lane and opened by Ben (its intended recipient is no longer a resident there) is discussed. Naiomi may have won a car, which the writer claims can be parked outside 5 Botolph Lane. This is not legally true, as there are double yellow lines, and a parked car would totally block the road. Ben will send a silly reply to the company, in their reply-paid envelope.
   


10. The minutes of the Up North meeting are read by Tony.
    


11. We need an AGM soon.
    


12. The Poohsticks competition is discussed further. We will try to find out more.
    


13. Brians sister is called Allison Jane Cowe. Like Allison Jane Farmer. Spooky, or what? Or what.
    


14. Anfoni arrives with his cheap tarts.
    


15. Ben wants to have a mass-debate. The tarts and the mass-debate joke in consecutive minutes.... wow!
    


16. Dave Henderson seems to turn up seemingly randomly in PoohSoc minutes.
    See minute 4. And this one.
    


17. Vote to censure Rob for stealing the photos of him in his Rabbit costume, then leaving. Hes probably gone to have a poster-size copy made for Annaliese.
    
    ("Spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count." - Rabbit
    "To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks." - Eeyore)
    


18. Ben repeatedly makes the tarts joke. Some things improve with age, however the tarts joke is not a malt whisky...
    


19. Vote to censure Jon Jarrett

    Motion passed
    


20. Books on the Philosophy of Pooh are discussed.
    


21. Reading In which we are introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and some Bees and the stories begin
    


22. Ben is fiddling with his little thing. He does vulgar things with a Jumping Jolly Pecker and one of Allisons Tiggers. The possibility of assassinating Richard Chipperfield by leaving a tiger in his pigeon hole are discussed. One nearly ate an American circus owner of that name, so how about an assassin? (Though Im not playing, in case this goes on the WWW)
    


23. Johnny from Wigan arrives. Is this a PoohSoc meeting or something? he asks.
    


24. Vote to close, as nothing very much is happening, and Catz trough beckons..
