November 2017 - AGM and Plotting
With the blessing of the landlord, the club members (Cath, Elaine, Roslyn, Anna, Peter, Sue, Suresh, Steve and Ellie, plus Kenneth and friends from Stavanger)
spent the evening (in the Plotting Parlour of Ye Olde White Harte) electing members to the committee, chewing the cud, and making decisions (16 minutes).
The Plotting Parlour is reputedly where the decision was taken to refuse entry to the city to King Charles, thereby precipitating the English Civil Wars.
For more information on this excellent public house, see:
