The club sang Happy Birthday to Christina who celebrated her birthday the same day.  The club was led in a spirited rendition by Charles, ably assisted by Delano Ingham.

The meeting was a club assembly and the various directors gave their reports.

Community — The Admiralty House Bathroom project took centre stage owing to its non completion. Tom Trimingham had been busy with revamping his own house but wants to finish the project as soon as possible. It was pointed out that once  the ceiling was up the place could be painted. It was expressed by the director, Harry Powell that the project got 'killed' by the hot summer starting with the pouring of the concrete.

Past president, Delano Ingham said that Rev. Hassell was desperate to have it finished as the folks there have to go outside to use the bathrooms at present, often in bad weather during the Winter. It was pointed out that we were merely assisting Government and it was essentially a Government project. In passing it was mentioned that James Tucker had left Works and Engineering.

Club Service — David Comery said that raffle prizes had been ordered. It was reported that the last meeting for 2000 would be on 21st December, a club assembly and that there would be no meeting on 28th December.

Treasurer — Gary Edwards said that there was nothing to report. Christina's monthly allowance cheque had been given to her sister.

Membership — Past President, Marshall Minors, recently resigned as Airport Manager, explained the nature of his recent illness. He said it was atrial fibrillation thought to have been caused by an overactive thyroid.

He explained that this was the third episode in the last eight months and that the real cause is largely unknown. It was thought this time that he should be observed while in hospital where he was for 2 1/2 days. Marshall mentioned that he was starting his own construction firm, Bermuda Building Services and said that the housing for the fair lumber would be ok for the time being.

The non-attendance of James Pitman was brought up and it was decided to write him a letter to the effect that his membership in the club had been terminated.

Secretary — Vicki Abraham will be vacationing in Australia with her family during the next four weeks.

Fair — Gary Taylor said that the raffle tickets would be printed and be out before Christmas. 25,000 would be printed and he hoped that the sales would net $100,000. The eight beneficiaries had been informed.

Raffle won by Glen Gibbons.
