Brief note on recent meeting:

For the Thursday 12 August meeting we saw low attendance but every one of those attending arrived in a classis vehicle , none newer than 1964.

The Secretary read the two items that were tabled at the last meeting, motion was made and seconded that they again be tabled, and from then until close of meeting the theme was "open topic" with spirited, exuberant exchanges of conversation. ....ed.
