Thursday 4th December: More angst over entertainment for our 40th bash when Mike Saywood informs everyone that we have ruled out music or singing due to the acoustics. The man just does not get the message and feels that a magician would be fascinating, entertaining and amusing.

My response is brief, and is supported by Mike & Charles.

Clem Johnson contacts me following my enquiry, and confirms that he could make 6th June. I also make an enquiry for Bill Callaghan as this would be MC's preference.

I decide that the best way to move this forward will be to have a draft programme for the evening prepared for the Officers meeting on 5th Jan, where we can make some final decisions.
