Minutes Of Last Meeting: Read and approved. No matters arising. TW thanked PS for chairing
the meeting in his absence last month.

Bookie Report: There were no significant expenses noted this month although cash and assets
showed a minimal decrease. The club remains in a healthy financial position.

Webmaster Report: A new feature has been added to the website, Circle History, where you
can find details of all those who have appeared in the circle notes – saints, sinners, hash crash etc.
Another excellent innovation from the web team.

Brew Master Report: There are still some minor repairs and maintenance to be carries out on
the truck when time permits; a quote for a respray of the front end of the truck (20,000b) was
considered too high, so VV will try and find a better deal. Beer consumption is on the low side but
proportionate to sign up numbers. VV noted that people are not opening soft drinks before leaving
the beer truck.

Hare Raiser Report: In the absence of the hare raiser it was noted that the hareline condition is
Green, no vacancies to hare until 7th October, no problems at this time.

Rags Report: SS provided a written report that detailed satisfactory stock levels at the moment (new shirt design requested however) and steady if unspectacular sales. SS suggested trialling ceramic coffee mugs with the PH3 logo, cost price per unit (for 12) 150b selling price per unit, 200 b. Approved and TW will procure.

On-on Bars Report: Due to other commitments I Rovers are no longer able to host us, leaving us with just 2 On On bars. Suggestions were invited and Teachers, Pot Hole and Buffalo bars were all put forward for consideration. More suggestions to be welcomed as this is a matter that needs addressing ASAP. It was agreed by all that the new Nicky’s location would not be suitable as an On On bar (currently no alcohol licence).

Upcoming Special Runs:
• SS birthday run, 9/9/24 – four free hares, four credits as hares are providing food.
• Oktoberfest, 14/10/24 – 8 free hares, 8 credits as extraordinary expenses incurred by hares.

Other Business:
• PS suggested a new policy to deal with beer thefts from the truck and after lengthy discussions the following was unanimously agreed upon. Ony one drink to be taken at any time, including the second circle; anyone found to be stealing beers would receive a warning on the first occasion, and subsequent occasion would attract a month-long ban, which would be rescinded by an apology from the culprit to the committee, in person at a meeting or via an email.
• DL requested and was given authority to buy a new charger for the camera battery.
• VV told us that he will be away on 21/10, 11/11 and 25/11, contingency plans for his absence to be fully confirmed.
• TW reminded all regarding award shirts; any member wishing to incorporate non standard art work in the design of their shirts take the responsibility and cost (over and beyond 400b) for doing so. Also our cap embroidery costs 350b so those requesting a cap will either supply their own cap or make up the shortfall when the bill exceeds 400b.
• Tw requested alternative locations for future meetings as once again Nickys no longer is suited to our needs, insufficient space and poor acoustics inside, insufficient space outside. Cafe Kronberg, Hustlers and Witherspoons were suggested and feasibility of all will be checked in due course.
