1981

This box used to announce that we awaited further digitisation of the records by Dr. Bob.  Unfortunately he signally failed in that task and it has been taken over by the saintly Mrs. Rees.





FANCY FREENS AGM FRIDAY 16th January 1981


The 3rd AGM of the Fancy Freens was gathered at the Persevere on a hellish snowy night.  All present except Jimmy who was stuck with new wife and invoiced (sic) child in Coldingham.

This proved to be the most raucous evening of the three to date but was quietly and authoratively controlled by J.M.  

S.R. proposed if F.F. Cup won 3 times in a row then it should be retained by winner.  Quite rightly shouted down but stated Tankard would be presented.  He also started to mix it about handicaps saying should be national and got backing from C.D. which proved to be the Death Knell of the proposal as he got no backing when put to the vote.

S.P. wanted a day’s score to count for the F.F. Cup and this was not resolved.  D.R. stated that organiser coordinated the guests for his outing.  

J.M. was reprimanded for being his quiet well-ordered self.

We then adjourned to The Dragon Pearl for fine Chinkie.
