Minutes of the Elevenses Meeting of the Pembroke College Winnie-the-Pooh Society held in R4 at 4pm on Saturday 5th December 1998

"A Lovely Cosy Meeting."

Present: Jon, Jeremy, Yasmin, Chris, Belinda, Anthony, Richard, Kirsten, Neil, Michael, Andrew (with Pooh socks), Helen

Apologies: Jenny, Ben, Claire, Vicky (though they needn't have bothered, as we are extra-constitutional)


  1. Andrew again opens the meeting.

  2. Jon arrives, with provisions. He had to stop and watch 2 people playing with their very large digeridoos. Maybe this explains the recent prolonged absence of James.

  3. Kenya or Ceylon? A vote in favour of Ceylon is passed.

  4. Anthony reads the somewhat surreal minutes from last week.

  5. We somehow vote that "Claire-who-is-not-quite-as-scary-as-scary-Claire-but-who-is-still-pretty-damn-scary" Boothby is not that scary.

  6. Apparently "Granny is a growing boy". (There you go Jenny, I need to eat lots of biscuits... (unless you get there first and eat them all!))

  7. Jenny and Jon arrived separately, from opposite directions, last week. Would we start rumours?

  8. We all like Joy. Somehow this motion gets seconded, then amazingly it is passed. Maybe they mean that Northern Irish girl...

  9. Yasmin reads aloud a letter from Claire-with-an-I-and-an-E.

  10. We love Claire:
    proposed Michael
    seconded Kirsten
    thirded Yasmin
    fourthed Jon
    fifthed Anthony
    sixthed Andrew
    seventhed Chris
    eigthed Richard
    ninethed Belinda
    Jeremy abstained
    motion passed.

  11. Are we going to vote on, er, um? Well, it doesn't look like it.

  12. A snowy sort of reading is suggested. We read the one about the woozle hunt - In which Pooh and Piglet go hunting and nearly catch a Woozle.

  13. Helen arrives.

  14. There is some maricious lumor mongering.

  15. A minute of mourning for Jon's scarf, nicked from Queens' bar.

  16. We decide to stare at Anthony and Belinda until they stop....

  17. We vote to close and just sit around a bit. next week's meeting will be at 51 Madingley Road.
