Any Other Business.
(a) Tony White (51-56) requested that no phone numbers or emails were made -available on -the web site. This was agreed.
(b) Roger Brickwood (62-65) suggested that the O.H. Club was remembered in members' wills, to boost the Club's finances. The Chairman thanked Roger for his suggestion, but did note that the Club's life expectancy was limited, and therefore it would serve no purpose to finance it in perpetuity. Some of the older members present also thought it would be of more benefit to the younger ones. Bill Billing (45-51) suggested that, at the demise of the Club, it should go out with a bang!
(c) Peter Cottee (48-52) suggested that the Club should fund the price of one ticket for the following year's A.G.M. and Dinner as a raffle prize. This was agreed.
(d) Tony White proposed a vote of thanks to the officials.
