  1. We are nearly all killed by a tree that is far too close to the water.

  2. We note with interest that David Henderson is present at a poohsoc meeting. (Joke c.1998 rehashed)

  3. We read Chapter 7 from the old testament, "In which Kanga and Baby Roo come to the forest and Piglet has a bath"

  4. We vote to allow all the visitors to vote for the duration of the meeting. F:2 A:0 Abs:1 Carried

  6. Ben- "I want to be a woman". F:2 A:1 Abs:2

  7. Dave has Jeremy’s purple bonnet on (at least, I think the notes say that, you see these minutes were taken by me after just a few tiny little gin and tonics. After all, that’s what punting is about. So they get a bit more hard to decipher as we get nearer the end. Also I was on a shaking punt, look I know it’s not an excuse, and the societal minutes are sacracent, but I do just want it stated in the record that there were mitigating circumstances. Thanks- BP)

  8. Pete and Clare from Newnham intercept us.

  9. Votes to give up pooh. F:0 A:3 Abs:2.

  10. "I’m sure being sticky is interesting, but not as interesting as Winnie-the-Pooh"

  12. Cheap tarts- 077*** *****. (Look, that’s what it says. Must have been very p***ed by then)

  13. Votes to close: F:4 A:2 Abs:0
