1. Yet again, Ben is not here. Andrew once again opens the meeting.
   


2. Gabriel pays his Pooh Levy to Andrew, who will give it to the treasurer.
   


3. The silver foil covering Anthony's wall is discussed. Jennifer beeps, and mysteriously disappears.
   


4. Robert (a fresher) reads the minutes.
   


5. We then tell him to read them aloud.... they are read by 16:13. What efficiency!!
   


6. We vote to allow the visitors to vote.
   


7. We vote to censure Ben, and speculate wildly on what he has been up to. He then finally arrives. Not long later, Jennifer returns.
   


8. Ben extracts a series of mystery mugs from his bag. His mysterious object erects itself, but this turns out to be an umberella, to our relief.
   


9. Mrs               , who wrote us a silly letter about the "Three Graces" sculpture, is censured. We vote to send a silly reply, which Jon will write, when he's not to busy recieving letters from blonde 16 year olds. (Ben gets jealous...) ( I presume they are female......?)
   


10. Belinda explains to the Freshers about overland PoohSticks. Jon interupts.
    


11. Rosie is given voting rights, and Andrew is censured for some reason (perhaps because nobody loves me)..
    


12. Sainsbury's are censured, and we hear about Richard's complaint to Lord Sainsbury himself about poor service.
    


13. The reading: "In which Pooh invents a New Game, and Eeyore joins in."
    


14. There is applause for Jeremy's rendition of Roo. Astrophysicists have some uses.
    


15. Belinda makes a good Eeyore.
    


16. Next week's meeting will be in R4. Unfortunately Kadia must appologise, as she is singing then. Attempts to hold PoohSoc in the chapel are ruled out.
    


17. Ben writes love letters to Yasmin and Claire, and anyone else who wants one gets added to the list.
    


18. A vote to close is passed.
