Sergeant's Session

Peter Clucas was Sergeant of Arms. He started by asking David Hodge to carry the box noting that Hodgy had ideal skiing conditions as opposed to when Clucas got there and there was an abundance of rain. Peter fined John Gray and Phil McIntosh for the increased costs at the club. He fined Col Duff for retirement and something about Jenni's spending his super..

He fined everyone who did not attend his 50th Birthday. He talked about the joys of being 50 … not being able to find your car in the parking lot, getting advice, getting a letter from the government with a free stool sample kit. He said that one thing he loves about Wollundry, as he is now 50, is that, looking around at the members...this club makes him feel young.
 
Neil cross fined President Geoff for not getting a good enough tan.
 
John Hawkins cross fined Geoff Hamilton re forgetting a prearranged appointment.
