13. Votes to censure all those in Cambridge and not here. Passed.
    


14. Means of keeping the ears warm whilst cycling are discussed: hair is suggested, but it is felt that to be effective it ought to be woven into a cloth. The merits of hair as a means of securing glasses to the head are also drawn to our attention.
    


15. Rosy will hassle gently remind people about things they need to do: Neil needs the cashbox at the Squashes, Katie needs to fix a time for Poohsticks training.

25. Owen’s brother hit a tree on a motorbike at 70mph ... But why was a tree...?
    


26. God doesn’t exist. But his sense of humour does. Many things could be explained by this theory. They include the duck billed platypus.
    


27. Possible EGM dates are the 8th and 15th of November... the only preference expressed so far is for the 15th.
    


28. It’s an ongoing competition between us and the ants, and we can’t know yet who’ll win. They have a head start, though.
    


29. Votes to close: Passed.
