Held in BB6, Pembroke College.
Present: Richard, Anfoni, Micheal, Martin, Jeremy, Claire, Mad Jenny, Ben, Yasmin, Kirsten, Benedict, Brian, Richard, Jenny.
Apologies: none

1. The meeting is eventually opened by Ben, and since Jon is characteristically absent Yasmin minutes.
   


2. Jenny arrives.
   


3. There appears to be a general TV theme today [that's television, right? Ed.]
   


4. "A random non-NH non-member is discussed." [The Secretary confesses himself baffled by the Under-Secretary's notations here]
   


5. Chris arrives. Jeremy offers to minute [so as to leave Yasmin's lap free or something?] and then decides not to, and instead occupies himself trying to levitate cakes towards him.
   


6. We were apparently on Teletext, which is read out before the Meeting.
   


7. Anfoni votes to censure himself for lying: F., 4, Ag., 3, Abs., 3; carried.
   


8. Ben votes to thank Anfoni: F., lots, Ag. Less, Abs., one; carried.
   


9. We listen to Anfoni on the radio, or at least a tape of him, and he's right, he does lie. Tsk tsk. Still, at least he owned up. Good boy. And we are eating his cake, so let's let it drop eh?
   


10. Kirsten and Benedict arrive.
    


11. The Varsity thing is discussed: are we actually going to do it, or shall we just claim we won by default of another team? Ben suggests inviting the Oxford Vice-Chancellor.
    


12. We were covered in and on, it seems, the Daily Telegraph, the Cambridge Evening News, Q103 FM, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, BBC Radio Thames Valley, VIBE FM, Anglia Television, BBC Look East, BBC local teletext, and Varsity. A vote is proposed to commend Ben for being a Brave Bunny, but since he is much less Rabbit than many of the other members, it fails to happen.
    


13. We debate inviting people of the media to the Garden Party, and decide against pretty rapidly.
    


14. A conversation is only partially heard which involved last night, Granny and Dave Henderson's underwear. It turns into one about Jeremy chatting up someone, but he denies all charges.
    


15. Benedict stares at Ben.
    


16. Kirsten has brought home-made Grantham gingerbreads, which are much praised.
    


17. The conversation turns to men having babies, and strangely stalls.
    


18. Jeremy wants to inject some innuendo.
    


19. Dave Henderson and Poohsticks are mentioned, with the favour naturally falling on Poohsticks.
    


20. Granny and the teapot arrive, having left earlier.
    


21. The reading is to be, "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath": but first, we mention Chris Timms and Trumpington, and secondly, and amazingly, Jon arrives brandishing minutes. Nonetheless, the democratic mood of the Society is that since we're all cued up for the reading, we should do that. Jon takes over the minutes.
    


22. It seems that Yasmin needs to be rebound.
    


23. Vote to censure Ben for annoyance: F., 4, Ags., 5, Abs., 3; defeated.
    


24. Vote to censure Ben for annoyance and for missing his cue: F., 4, Ag., 5, Abs., 3; defeated!
    


25. Vote to just get on with the reading: ignored.
    


26. Someone proposes a motion to calm Mad Jenny. We inquire of her exactly what motion she prefers for this, but unfortunately get no useful reply, so she has to remain agitated.
    


27. RichardBoultonRichard arrives on the way to London.
    


28. There is consternation and uproar over Kanga's gender!
    


29. Ben's Piglet voice suggests to the Secretary that it wasn't Ben's head that got bashed in his accident...
    


30. Questions are raised as to the efficacy of the Coastguards, seeing as they are both here but the coasters aren't: they however claim they are guarding them so well that they're not being brought. Micheal blames the Illuminati.
    


31. Jeremy makes the obligatory haircut comment about Jon's hair.
    


32. Benedict is snoring, and has been throughout the reading! Shocking!
    


33. Mad Jenny displays an apparently exhaustive knowledge of Poohsoc's nipples.
    


34. Jeremy has taken 1 hour 34 minutes to notice Jenny sitting less than three feet from him.
    


35. Photoes of Anfoni pretending to be a Jagular are circulated.
    


36. Brian arrives and is dragged onto Kirsten's lap, and therefore starts removing his clothing.
    


37. Videos of the Society playing Poohsticks for the Media are displayed. Has anyone told the Lady Foundress? We should make a promotional video. Also, since we are clearly the best-known College Society, we should increase our GAC claims dramatically - to "one million dollars!" (the Society imitates Dr. Evil in unison)...
    


38. Poohsoc present Benedict (via Kirsten) with a very fine Winnie-the-Pooh rattle. Many thanks indeed!
    


39. RichardBoultonRichard appears to have been mesmerised by a photograph envelope, whose letters are apparently jumping before his eyes.
    


40. Brian releases his hair!
    


41. Next week's meeting will be held in Rooms G22 and G23, West House, Homerton. We vote to close: F., 4, Ag., 2, Abs., 6; carried.
