The notices were a reminder about the AGM next week, and to say that
Peter 1 would like a break from being Minutes Secretary as he'll be away
quite a bit [see Chris's notes re that] so any volunteers? I presume
everyone else on committee [apart from Peter 2 ] is happy to continue in
their officer posts. Alison has agreed to chair, if you have anything
for the Any Other Business it would help if you could let Alison and/or
me know in advance, then we can time the meeting accordingly. Of course
we will be discussing dress! Peter 1 sent round a draft agenda and
minutes of the last AGM this week, please read/print or whatever, I
won't be making lots of copies. I will email round the accounts/balance
sheet when Dick has finished auditing it.

The other notice I gave last Wednesday was to ask everyone to confirm
that evening, if they hadn't already, whether they could accommodate any
of the Czech visitors and if so how many, whether they have a spare
bed[s], single or double, or floor space and should they bring a
sleeping-bag. I still need confirmation from Natalie, Ollie and
Christina, could you 3 email or ring me this weekend please.

I am presuming that if you said you have floor space you may be able to
get/borrow a blow-up mattress or similar, but that they should bring a
sleeping bag. If you said you have beds or sofa bed or futon, I am
presuming you will provide sheets, duvet, blankets, pillowcases? Let me
know if my assumption isn't correct! I will also assume that we will all
provide towels for them.

Jenny, Susan, Rachael and I [the witches' coven!] are meeting next week
to look at all the practical arrangements for their visit, ie meals,
lifts, daily activities, rooming arrangements. We will then let you know
what we have agreed. If you will be free in the daytime [ie Thursday 5
July, Friday 6 July] and willing to show them round, let me know. We
will presume that all our drivers will use their cars on the 3 evenings
to ferry people to and from accommodation, including possibly to hosts
who don't have cars [e.g. Elaine and Douglas].

Right, thanks for your patience, I can hear the mutters "all right for
her, free all day to do this........." Yes, good, isn't it!
