Council: Hat Night

 Vice-President Mairhi Trickett was in the chair at last week's club meeting and, after disposing of some business, the evening took the form of a hat-night.  Iain Smith described the splendours of Venice he found when he visited there along with, it seemed, half the population of Italy; Bob Kellett spent five minutes on the phrase "only five minutes" and all the connotations evolving therefrom and Gus Neilson gave a humorous resume of his rugby career in which the only thing which prevented him from reaching the higher echelons of the sport was his lack of size and skills after which Mairhi thanked the speakers for their contributions.
