A Secretarial Report

from Sgt Buzfuz

Greetings. Is the summer over? I hope not.
!
I am sorry that I missed the Tour and understand that the day was enjoyed by all. I am
looking forward to seeing a good many of you at the Hampton Court ride details of which
have been sent to you and mentioned elsewhere in this edition.
Several e-mails have been sent out recently and copies by post to those that don’t have
or don’t want to receive notices in that manner. If you are happy and have not received e
mails please let me know your address and I will amend my records. One or two are
bounced back either because they are wrong or there is a block on incoming bulk
circulars. There is one I think from Ireland that is returned by “Postmaster” marked
“unread”. Please alter your filters to allow incoming. The sender will be
sdownham@hughesellard.com

Several members will have received letters about attendance at the two luncheons. I
would remind everyone that the aims of the club are fellowship and this is best achieved
by regular attendance at events. The members at last years AGM agreed that
attendance of at least one in three luncheons is a pre-requisite and members who fail to
achieve this minimum number will be deemed to have resigned. Those who have been
notified and others who may be close to that requirement take note.

th
The Garden party is on the 4 December and ticket application forms will be sent out at
the end of September. Tickets will be £70 each and members will be restricted to 6
only. There will be no concessions. Due to cramping in the room the committee
have decided to reduce the maximum number and therefore tickets will be
allocated on a first come first served basis. There will be a propriety date up to
which it is hoped that all applications will be accepted. There will then be a closing
date, after which there will be no more tickets unless we have not sold out.
