Outgoing president John "Satan" Tansley approved these minutes at the 1996 AGM, so they're probably fit for publication on the web.

AGM Minutes 1995

Present: John Tansley, David Spence, Nick Lawrence, Olivia Milburn, Clare Phethean, Neale Grant, Richard Blunt, Tom Arnold, Eloise Dunn, Graham Jones, Marcus White, Peter Breed, Dave Talbot (late...)

We make punch. Someone says it is very good. Meeting starts at 8.23pm.

Items discussed:

It is agreed to change the Outdoor Cupper round from an Albion to a Windsor round, so that newer members can shoot it more easily.
Since we went to very few tournaments this year, we resolve to try to go to more in 95/96.
It is decided to mail local clubs and universities to see if there would be support for OU.OUT. If there is enough interest, we plan to hold the first OU Outdoor Tournament.
WWW page to be created and maintained by Richard Blunt for the year.
Shooting sessions for Trinity decided as Tuesday 1pm, Saturday 1pm. Trying to arrange an indoor session is considered, but abandoned because Dave Gibb hates us. (?)
The need for creating more club enthusiasm is discussed, and the idea of holding 'team' trials is considered. It is suggested that it would help to get people involved, but could be seen as artificial since tournaments do not run on a predetermined team basis.
Equipment needed is discussed. Nick says we have lots of money. It is decided to buy 1 new boss, 5 new stands, 20 122cm faces for Albions, and 2/3 ground quivers. Buying John's and Dave's old bows is considered, and a decision is postponed to Michaelmas.
We agree to try to hold the Varsity match in the Parks.

John says that he hates children. Don't know quite why, or why he said it, but it's in the minutes.

Officers' reports:

Social Secretary (Richard Blunt) - "Er... didn't do anything much."
Records/Tournaments (Dave Talbot) - "Told you I wasn't ******* going to do anything when you voted me in, and I didn't."
Treasurer (Nick Lawrence) - Nick says something very rude to John, probably having just been insulted by John. "We spent lots of money. We've still got a bit left." Having said this, he disappears to Oddbins and buys some more punch ingredients, leaving us with a lot less money.
Secretary (Dave Spence) - Nick takes over the minute-taking, while Dave says something. Nick seems to have had far too much punch, and writes something illegible. Dave's report is lost forever, since no one is sober enough to remember what he said.
President (John Tansley) - Dave's handwriting suffers a similar fate to Nick's, and John's speech is also lost to posterity.

Everyone agrees that the first lot of punch was better than the second. Graham suggests that we should let the clock take the minutes. Graham is awarded the 'Worst Joke of the Evening' Prize.

New Committee - Richard, Neale, Bottle, Nick, Bottle, Neale

It is observed that Neale cannot do two posts, so he resigns as president. Someone questions the ability of inanimate objects to be on the committee. It is pointed out that this didn't stop us electing Dave T last year. The bottle resigns as a protest against discrimination.

New Committee - Richard, Neale, Nick, Dave, John

Nick defaces minutes. John takes photos.

Meeting closed at 10:33pm, give or take a few minutes.
