A Secretarial Report

!

from Sgt Buzfuz

!

Spring 2015 - Another year, the club’s 145th. Your committee are starting to think
about 2020 and our 150th anniversary. Anyone with ideas as to how best we might
celebrate that event, please contact a committee member.
New members to the committee elected at the AGM included Roger Hitchman (Hunt)
and Paddy Green (Dumkins). Fred parr (Quanko Samba) was elected President and
Brian Vandervilt (Bullman) as Deputy President. Stuart Mason-Elliott (Mr Watty) took
up the mantle as Assistant Secretary.

The principal guest at the Garden Party, Ian Irving was superb, but once again I
wish we could say the same about the service from the Connaught Rooms especially
the wine waiters. Your committee is well aware of all the problems and we are to meet
the General Manager and others in a few weeks time, to discuss the matter and
hopefully reach agreement to stop similar incidents in the future.
!
In addition, and despite previous notices from myself and the Captain, members and
guests still do not seem to have the courtesy to be in the Grand Hall and seated by
1.00pm so that your President and principal guest are not kept waiting outside.
Members who failed to observe this simple task have been noted.

Another full programme is arranged this year with the usual dates for Golf (11th
June) and Benson (5th July) , and I hope to see as many of you as possible at these
events. {a full list of known event dates can be found later in this issue…Editor}
Further dates will be discussed at the coming committee meeting and will be published
in the members section of the web site. Communication to members by email saves the
Club postage costs but I do not have email addresses for some members - and several
are frequently rejected when sent.
