Chairman Gerald East: you were (almost) late... Ray Higgs, good to see you have recovered and are able to join our meetings again! Doug Lipp, if we pay for the Christmas Cake, will you deliver it? Johnny Bueti, didn't notice you until I saw this guy with a hole in his jeans... Charles Thomasson, we are almost half way there... newly inducted members Adam Sheppard and Tash Price: just to get you accustomed to being fined... new President Elect Paul Seymour: good on you accepting the nomination, but... you must be mad! John Chirio, sorry to see you go, so let me extract some money before you go... Mitch Brown, I had something for you last meeting, but you weren't there... and finally, our Guest Speaker Farley Tolpen didn't escape, with Ian coming up with a VERY old joke about lawyers...BTW: note that all fine money collected goes towards buying Christmas presents for disadvantaged children, which we'll deliver the St John's for distribution.
