One of the more obscure is the chance to roam around locations at unfamiliar times at near zero temperatures waiting for the venue of the AGM to open. Not having the resources of RBS behind us we hire a room in the library by the hour. There were some chuckles when the meeting agreed unanimously that the Treasurer should be paid an honorarium of £500 for the work carried out voluntarily each year. Some wag at the back was heard to say:-
Shouldn't that be five hundred thousand with a pension thrown in!While I was waiting for the meeting and stand up comedy routine to start I took this snap.
Not quite up to Bolton or Manchester standards but a suitable reminder of civic vision. A bit like a well fed county solicitor with an expanding waistline and an increasingly vague but avuncular demeanor.
