The Speakers Secretary arrived carrying a large quantity of menus for the Chairman's dinner that will take place on the 15th January 2010, and news of the speaker for this event, Mr. Phillip Morris.
Discussion took place regarding a change of timing of the coach trip to Stafford.  It was suggested to leave Colwyn Bay earlier to arrive at Stafford earlier to avoid long traffic queues.  No doubt this subject will be discussed at the next meeting.
