Minutes of the Elevenses Meeting of the Pembroke College Winnie-the-Pooh Society

Held generally around the basement level of 40 Panton Street about 4pm on Saturday 31st January 1998

Minuted by Andrew

Present: Alison, Andrew, Anfony, Ben, Jenny, Rob, Tony
Apologies : Andrew (despite being there), Mildred, Mrs Specterman, Rob (despite being there)

1. Andrew declares the meeting in the kitchen open, as only him, Jenny and Alison are present.
   


2. Dan and Russell appear briefly, but leave immediately the meeting is declared open.
   


3. Jenny proposes “we censure Ben: for being generally crap, for not being here on time, and for being Ben”
   F3 A0 Ab0
   Motion passed
   


4. Alison informs us that she is not doing this. We can’t see her. If you say so, Alison.
   


5. Ben arrives. Rob will be coming later (the person reading the minutes should pause here whilst the obvious joke is made).
   


6. Alison puts the kettle on.
   


7. The minutes of last week’s meeting are read by Jenny.
   


8. “Why has someone put cabbage in the teapot?” asks Ben. PoohSoc tackles one of the major issues of the day. In actual fact we are dealing with tea. Earl Grey in fact. In a tea pot. Ben starts to look silly. Even more than normal.
   


9. “We all know Alison’s is not real”. Hair colour, apparently. (Ginger*i ?)
   


10. Any one for tea?
    F4 A0 Ab0
    


11. Ben goes to find someone to decide last week’s hung vote on the censure of him for being sexist. Dan is found, and votes to censure Ben. He is censured. Ben is declared a “sexist non-legitimate-person”, or something to that effect, by Jenny.
    


12. When is the Cam coming back? It’s gone. We will write to the council asking them to refill the river so we can play Poohsticks. Without any water, we can’t really play.
    


13. Possible recipies for non-vegitarian, possibly canniblistic and infanticidal, Nestle cookies are discussed. So many people would refuse to eat them that the rest could eat them all themselves.
    


14. Anfony arrives.
    


15. Ben makes the first of many Emily Holden references. awwwwwww!
    


16. Ben wants it to be noted that he was buying cake when we censured him (see 3 above). But Anfony adds to the censure vote. F4 A1 Ab0
    


17. Ben tells us he has been reading a book called “The Liar”. He says that the book descibes his life at Cambridge. Apparently it’s all about buggery (is this the first that subject has come up in the minutes...?).
    


18. A vote to censure Anfony for losing Tony between the door to the house and the kitchen, after opening the front door for him, is proposed.
    F4 A1 Ab2
    Motion passed.
    


19. Rob and Tony arrive.
    


20. The minutes from last week are re-read, this time by Tony.
    


21. David Henderson announces he is going to cook a fry up in the kitchen (well the shower would be a silly place to cook). He points out we can’t stop him. Jenny looks less than impressed by the large slab of gorgeous jucy meat Dave plans to cook.
    


22. Dave says we are in the way. Andrew proposes a vote on who is in the way of who. We say Dave is in OUR way. We unanimously vote that this is the case.
    


23. Who has eaten Dave’s bread. Could it be a Woozle?
    


24. Train ticketing policies of different TOCs are discussed.
    


25. Vote to find somewhere else to continue the meeting, despite our morally superior claim to the kitchen (3 of live in the house, (Andrew is only a techincality away from living there), we were there first, there’s more of us, and we voted on it).
    F3 A3 Ab1
    Hung vote. We need a visitor to decide the issue. Unfortuantely Dave is the obvious choice, and votes that we leave.
