7)    Any Other Business

The secretary was approached by Gary Marshall regarding the draw;

Gary suggested “can you ask on Tuesday if when people arrive you put them in the four balls that are there 1st i.e. first four people make game one, next four game two, and so on, therefore encouraging them to turn up early. Those that turn up after 0745 then go off last and not like now when they could be of first. “

This was discussed and thought that this would be a move away from the original spirit of the society, it was agreed unanimously to keep the current format of the draw on Sundays.
