Markage Proctor BSc :
eventually, after a stern phone call, turned up :
Tonight’s meeting again
clashed with a pub quiz, but as
This week, the bird running
it jabbered on about a “coverted” prize (as in well hidden, not well sorted
after), and couldn’t say microscope. Barlymow did, however, know that Omar sung
“There’s nothing like this”, which he should have kept to himself. Time to
change venue/time.
Apologies rxd from :
Col Greenwood, busy playing
out with his bat and ball.
1. Previous Actions etc.
1.1. As Mr Barlymow had only forwarded the previous minutes at 20:48 this eve
(12 minutes before the mtg), some Actions may be incomplete. The Best Man’s
going to have his work cut out.
1.2. Response from Andy Ryds, Antipodean Rep.
Hmmm,
Witches? I think I have one living next
door.....maybe I could borrow her broom-ute and fly over. Don't wear any makeup tho - seriously reduces your
chances of casting tongue-spells on innocent virgins who don't want to look
like they just got over-enthusiastic with an ice-cream cone (learned this one
on Jules' Do...clowns).
Venues:
Hmmm, always wished we'd gone to that
nightclub in
Stratford would be good - lots of pubs and
thespians, as you mentioned...
Newquay? Middle of summer....might get some of said birds in
bikinis, esp if you go late June, after end of uni, and Stooly gets the weather
right. Could have surfing as Stag-Do Activity, though could be difficult in
long black gowns.
Have to look in the spell book for that
one that turns sand into gold, otherwise attendance might be seriously in
doubt, I'm afraid....
1.3. Response from Si Eags
What an utter
shambles. mis spelling. half the invitees aren't invited prior to the meeting.
Plane Spotters didn't even get a mention or pilsbury dough men not to mention
the Bolshoi Ballet B Team. And another thing I'm missing page 3. There is
a set process for stag Do organisation and it is blatently lacking. It
doesn't even have a title with Fat in it. There is no sticky Bun management at
all. And I'm meant to be the placid one.
Si
Mr
eagles knows full well that Pilsbury dough men was never a real contender (as
Start Trek), but let it be noted here anyway, yawn. Barlymow duly re-named Fat
Barlymow. As for stick-bun management, just remember what happen when Big Bri
and mesen had a locked bun box with dual keys, and you still
found us with sugar all over us stood next to an empty box. Much gaffawing as
this tale was re-told.
Post Mtg Note – Si, try switching your spellchecker on.
1.4. The others - Too much like hard work to list here.
2. Committee positions
2.1. Best Man ?
Ongoing.
Post Meeting Note – Barlymow has asked Seens to be BM, who has accepted.
He gets to run off with the bride when the groom is (predicatbley in this case)
very late.
2.2. Mark’s friend Lizzane wants a role. We all predicably
suggested cheese and ham. Joking apart, if she wants to do a Black Adder “Bob”
impression, and eventally get ‘em off, that’s unanimously fine.
Action - Markage
2.3. Attendees
To recap, those present, plus invitees :
JC, Steve Tiley, Chris Gerrard, Mark Green, Si Eags, Big Bri Morris, Dutt, Rob Moran, Andy Archer, Andy Ryds, Ian Mitchell, Danny n Ribbs n Ken, Steve Rostrun, Neil (prospective possible Bride’s brother) + Ian, Matt Mears, Cush, Jowler, Col Wright, Mick Huge-one.
Additionally : Si
Kelsall, Pete Carmichael (JC please fwd to PC, we don’t have a
working email)
Action – Seens / JC
3. Stag Date
22 May or 12 Jun. No further
dev’ts. We need a comprehensive yes/no tick sheet for the Sat night,
esp. for those guests from BAe. Phoning around will be required before
next mtg. There may be a clash with some football typ things. I have no
interest in this, other than the prevention of a clash with loads of drunken
blokes in the pubs. Other drunken blokes.
Action – PXB / Stooly
4. AOB
4.1. This was done earlier than is trad. We all played with Moower’s joist
detector, and eventually got it to acknowlege the existance of the table we
were already using. It also bleeped near Stooly’s head.
4.2. It’s St Pat’s day Wednesday, beers are suggested. O’Neil’s 8pm.
5. Bride Test
Barlymow says that the breakfast should be OK, but the tits-oot may be a no-go. Time to reconsider choice of bride .
6. Location
Generally agreed reqts :
- Mark confirmed the existance of some canals
near
- Skipton [Seens] It has many xlent pubs, a
club, curry. Will research accom. Has xlent advantage of being in
Action - Seens.
Action - Stooly.
- Blubberhouses (Mark) who only suggested
this becos he thinks it sounds rude
- Filingdales – where the big golfballs are.
There are no pubs (except The Sun several miles away) no clubs, no curry,
no birds, and campers are usually shot/mortared. Otherwise fine.
- Newquay [Ryds] shag-fest ? Seens has been,
and it is full of firm birds.
- Conistone – [Markage] he says it was
raining there last w/e, so unless Stooly sorts the weather out …
- Penrith again. Moower failed his action to
find out anything. But he did look into barge trips for some other future
event. We need “What’s on in Penrith”, easy to acquire as probably only 1
page. Barlymo has been done for speeding here (£30+3pnts), so he can get
the Police’s phone number and ask them.
Action – Moore / Barlymow
7. Theme
Additional nominations are :
- Pirates – tho not “woman” enuff for Mark.
Fake stumps (could turn our own legs). Rejected immediately, as many broken wrists likely.
- Sou’westers – regular dousing with buckets
of water like in spaghetti nautical films.
Post Mtg Note – not good idea as Seens gets very
sea-sick.
- Gummbies (Python) [Moower] – we wouldn’t
stand out much in most English towns.
- Blue Meanies [Moower] something to do with
Yellow submarines. Ignore this.
- TuTus [Stooly] rejected immediately by all
as too gay.
- Post Mtg Note -
“Barlymows” [Chris Gerrard] olde style farmers (straw
hat, smock, straw in mouth etc. Ooooh Arrr etc.
8. Weather
Stoooly’s action – failed. He
will speak to Dianne Oxbry, who has been decreed a Bordline Boiler ( a “bewer”
in Cumbrian). I would.
Action – Stooly.
9. Next Meeting
Need to stop clashing with
pub quizzes run by dsifunctional plebians.
Wed 24 March 9pm, Black Bull, Fullwood.
