Emergency GAC Allocation Summit Conference of the Pembroke College Winnie-the-Pooh Society, held at 12.55 in the Bar, on a date, which, alas, is lost to posterity, but it was probably sometime late in May.

Present : Jon, Ben, Alasdair.

1. The only purpose of calling this meeting was to sort out our claim for the GAC allocation. It was proposed to claim £25, on the basis that if the Boat Club can get several thousand, surely a more important society can claim a small amount for use on postage, etc. F:2 A:0 Abs:1. Motion carried. Ben submits the GAC allocation.
   


2. No-one proposes closing the meeting, so it remains open in typical Poohsoc fashion.
   


3. At 8.25, Rob, Granny, and Ben are present, and on the way to the cinema. Rob, shocked at the sheer silliness of the situation, proposes a vote to close. F:1 A:1 Abs:1. We are about to ask the “guests” to settle the matter, but we are distracted by the Science Faculty beeping.
   

Present: Stephen, Sibylle, Alasdair, Ben, Alison, Granny, Bernhard, Rabbit, and friends (schoolteacher and friend up to visit)

Apologies: Clare and Granny, even though he’s present and the meetings in his room. Interesting.

4. Vote to allow Rabbit’s Friend to vote for the duration of the meeting. F:7, A:0, Abs:1
   


5. We decide that, due to the one cup, one bag policy in force in Granny’s room, we should get him a teapot.
   


6. We vote to censure Jon on the grounds of General Incompetence F:4 A:0 Abs:4 AWOL:2
   


7. Rob, as by precedent, reads the minutes of last weeks meeting.
   


8. Anfony arrives at 4.15 p.m
   


9. Rob complains that nobody’s actually listening to the reading of the minutes. This is obviously due to them being Poorly Written and Uninteresting, so we vote to censure Jon again F:6 A:1 A:4. Someone voted twice, but since the motion is such a good one, we quickly gloss over this.
   


10. For some unknown reason, some (expletive deleted) proposes a vote for Ben to leave. F:2 A:2 Abs:6
    


11. Before a visitor can be found, Ben points out that to force someone to leave, a rustication motion must be passed at two successive Elevenses meeting, and the Poohsoc is thus being unconstitutional. We vote to censure ourselves F:2 A:4 Abs:5
    


12. Ben discusses the Pigeonhole Principle. I don’t know why, but it’s in the minutes, so I must have done.
    


13. The reading is “In which Kanga and Roo come to the forest and Piglet has a bath.
    


14. Sibylle reveals more about the Orgy. Apparently, it happened in installments by a lake containing Poisonous Fish.
    


15. Rabbit’s friends’ feel that they have to leave at 5.p.m. Anthony, coincidentally, accompanies them.
    


16. Ben, Alison, and Jenny apologise in advance for next week.
    


17. There is discussion of the Garden Party. There is a highly contentious vote to allow Ben to write a Pooh Play if he has time. F:3 A:2 Abs:2
    


18. Pooh pictionary is suggested as Garden Party Entertainment, as is “Pin the tail on the Eeyore”
    


19. Jon appears for about 30 second, apology in hand, and whizzes off. The apology is available in the Poohsoc Records.
    


20. Ben proposes that the Garden Party be on Sat 14th June at 3.p.m on the Library Lawn, charging £2.50. F:5, A:0, Abs:1.
    


21. Vote to close. F:6, A:1, Abs:1.
    


22. The next meeting is to be in T4
