Held in CC32 Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Present: Granny, Martin, Micheal, Jeremy, Kirsten, Anthony, Benedict, Ben, Jon, Yasmin, Claire, Chris, Brian, Mad Jenny.
Apologies: Becky, Mad Jenny.
Guests: Richard, Emily.

1. Granny opens the meeting. There is rhubarb tea. The talk is of plays on at the moment, and of Robinson May Ball, which appears to exercise a consuming interest among about two thirds of those present.
   


2. Vote to allow the visitors to vote: F., 5, Ag., 1, Abs., 1; carried.
   


3. Anfoni's imminent departure is discussed: how will we find someone as negative?
   


4. Granny denies being a transvestite.
   


5. Mmm... doughnuts...
   


6. The note reads, "Old ladies bred for the purpose." However I wasn't there at this point, and Kirsten can't remember what the purpose was.
   


7. It is minuted that Dave Henderson is dubious.
   


8. There is a general desire to know the whereabouts of the Chrisantheyasmin.
   


9. Anfoni has allegedly been playing with Kirsten all day.
   


10. Breasts are discussed.
    


11. Vote that Russell is lovely: F., 2, Ag., 1, Abs., 7; carried! At some point after this Ben must have evaporated, because he seconded this vote and wasn't there when I arrived. Thank heavens I'm a historian!
    


12. Jon arrives with late minutes and takes over his secretarial duties. There is confusion over mugs.
    


13. Granny announces he is feeling sour today. No-one checks.
    


14. Kirsten displays her well-known skills with hot liquid by spilling tea down herself.
    


15. The Homerton contingent arrive while Kirsten is attempting to read last week's minutes, which she finishes at screaming pitch just as the conversation about Robinson May Ball finally dies down. It appears that no-one who could hear her was listening, but she refuses to read them again. Then Brian arrives and chaos descends utterly.
    


16. Anfoni holds a cake under Emily's nose as she tries to read the minutes of the secret meeting. He then reads Benedict's palms and claims that he (Benedict of course, not Anfoni, that would be silly) will have four hundred grand-children. The rhubarb tea is probably the best explanation for this.
    


17. Claire and Yasmin have been exiled from Homerton!
    


18. Lateness Explanations are given, and Brian combs his hair. This takes some time.
    


19. Jeremy proposes that we all say hello to Martin. After some considerable confusion because of the recent mention of Martin 'The Stalker' Harvey, about whom the Society feels rather differently, we establish that he does mean our own Foreign Secretary, and the voting goes as follows: F., 10, Ag., 1, Abs., 2; carried! We all therefore say hello to Martin!
    


20. Being called Emily is discussed. Kirsten seizes the chance to kiss Jeremy in an unconnected fashion.
    


21. We decide, after some debate, to postpone the election to the post of Wol due to lack of publicity and lack of candidates. It will therefore be held at the first meeting of next Full Term.
    


22. Results times are discussed.
    


23. Yasmin adopts the Kirsten practice with regard to tea.
    


24. The Reading is, as it is the last constitutional meeting of the year, "In Which Christopher Robin and Pooh Come to an Enchanted Place, and We Leave Them There". Brian plays Tigger, Claire plays Rabbit, Kirsten plays Eeyore, Emily plays Piglet, Anfoni plays Kanga, and Micheal is Wol. Wow.
    


25. Brian can't keep it still, apparently.
    


26. Ben and Mad Jenny arrive, but try not to interrupt.
    


27. Ben and Jon plug the Not Very Good Interval Band.
    


28. Next week's meeting will be held in B3.
    


29. Emily and Kirsten chorus, "Giant frogs! Giant frogs!" for no clear reason.
    


30. Vote to close: F., 6, Ag., 1, Abs., 6; carried.
