Minutes of the Elevenses Meeting of the Pembroke College Winnie-the-Pooh Society held at 51 Madingley Road at 4pm on Saturday 12th December 1998

In which we are on an Expotition to Madingley Road

Present: Richard, Neil, James (Anthony's brother), Alex (Anthony's friend, not the nasty forward minx, unfortunately), Michael, Andrew, Ben

Apologies: not needed, as we are out of term, and so extra-constitutional

1. The meeting is opened by Ben, unusually for this term.
   


2. Neil introduces us to his teddy bear friends Mr Cholmondley and "the bear with no name".
   


3. Andrew reads the still incomplete minutes from last week.
   


4. What is happening with varsity PoohSticks? Can we contact someone somewhere to organise a game? Or are they hiding from us, scared of our obvious superiority?
   


5. "Michael, if there's one person who doesn't need illegal drugs, it's you".
   


6. Uncle Joe is discussed, as his portrait looks on.
   


7. We discuss who is left in college this far out of term. Do they have no friends at home?
   


8. James demonstrates a double jointed shoulder, but won't demonstrate his elbow...
   


9. "Things we regret". For the greater good of humanity, this wasn't minuted. In fact, a major chunk of today's discussion has mysteriously disappeared, never to surface, and certainly not all over the internet...(for details, send a plain envelope to Andrew's pigeon hole).
   


10. We get on to the subject of Michael's weirdness. Pentagrams, 23 in opposition, and the polarity position (that does sound dodgy) are discussed.
    


11. Anthony is turning into an old English sheepdog. A boring hairdressing conversation follows, but by some quirk of fate we avoid mentioning leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia! With my best girl by my side! The Larch! The Pine! The Giant Redwood tree! The Sequoia!
    


12. "In which Christopher Robin leads an Expotition to the North Pole" is read, in honour of our trek out to Madingley Road.
    


13. Michael is censured for making things too vulgar. Too vulgar for us lot is worrying!
    


14. If there is a meeting next week, it will be in B3 (if it had been on Peterborough station, I could've made it).
    


15. Michael talks profound stuff/crap* (*delete as appropriate.. I know what I'd say).
    


16. Ben tends to pick his lecher course, it seems. (This isn't the Emily/Gillian/Lindsay conversation again is it?)
    


17. The size of the garden is discussed.
    


18. Vote to close passed... F4 A1 Ab0. We'll worry about a room next term next term.
