Tonight was the Area 8 Council meeting in Rushen, Isle of Man.
A great night all in all, only let down by the Area 8 Exec who didn’t bother turning up (with the exception of Sales, Vice and Chair)
I was dismayed to find that not only could they not turn up (even though one of them had actually flown in that day, but had decided to stay in a bar up the road in Douglas), but they couldn’t even be bothered to submit a written report – knowing that they wouldn’t be able to attend the meeting.
The only “written” report was from John Kilshaw, not reporting on his post in Area, but to say he would be standing for National Vice President next year.
The meeting however was high spirited and the banter was exceptional. RTBI was called at 10:12pm which is about the earliest I’ve ever known it for a Table meeting, especially an Area meeting – however we didn’t make it out of the pub until gone midnight, at which stage we moved on to a hotel in Douglas, had several more beers, moved on to Colours (night club) and from there to the Casino upstairs and I staggered home at about 04:30am – what an excellent night!
