Minutes
of the last meeting. The minutes of the last meeting, held on 29th March 2014, were approved.
Matters Arising. There were none.
Outgoing officers' reports.
Grand Master. Massive said that he had maintained a steady ship.
Hash Cash. Sleepy said that he had distributed a statement of finances to the end of 2014 "electronically", and would be available on the website, (see below). Careful management and the help of a cost-cutting team had enabled him to minimise the current deficit at £2.00. Following a brief scuffle it was voted by a narrow majority to accept the accounts for 2014.
Puki enquired about the current state of the Bristol and Allied Hashes Pension Scheme (BAHPS). Sleepy said that, following careful management, it was proposed to maintain the qualifying pension age at 97 for the financial period 2015/16. Following a brief scuffle the proposal was accepted.
Stats. Wolfie reported that there had been a small decrease in the average number of hashers per week, from 28 to 25. Closer examination, however, had revealed a higher quality of hasher than the previous year. He reminded the meeting that extensive reports could be found on the website.
Hare Raiser. Fat Controller said he was going to Wembley tomorrow.
Beer Masters:Shiggy Valentine reported that Clem had been a major drain on down-down funds during the year.
Social Committee:Waynetta, with encouragement and input from Wet Wipe and Sleepy, listed the various social events, too numerous to name here, that the committee had "organised" during the year. She blamed Lunchi for the evening's chilly and physically-unsuitable venue.
