Congratulations to Muckluck who attended in spite of his
being on honeymoon.
1) It was proposed by Wg.Cdr West and seconded by Flt Lt Weston
that applications to become members of the Jever Steam Laundry
should only be considered if the applicant enclosed a specimen
of underwear which had been washed (not Bleached) and a full
description of the washing methods used. Fall Out was not to
be enclosed. Passed Unanimously.
2) A further proposal was made by Flg.Off Sandhole that all
shareholders who wished to attend future meetings should write
to the Secretary, giving information on various branches, for
inclusion in the Annual Report.
Seconded by Sam D'Arcy and passed unanimously.
3) It was proposed by Flt Lt Bodger that underpants which
were sent for washing, but which had lost their laundry mark
should be auctioned to benefit the Chinese Nationlist Army
Comfort Fund. Seconded by Skinhead and passed unanimously.
4) It was proposed by Sqn Ldr Adamson that the practice of
cutting out offending portions of underpants be discontinued
as it was found to be detrimental to trade. In future, they
would be sprinkled with Eau de Cologne and returned with a
printed note explaining the action which had been taken.
Seconded by David Way and passed with a majority of 13 1/2
5) It was proposed by some bastard that B.B.Sharman be
elected 1959 secretary. Seconded by another and passed
by the rest.
6) A proposition was made by Flt. Lt Curly Hirst that Grog
be used in lieu of detergent for the cleaning of football
boots and Bodger Edwards socks.
At this stage the above mentioned shareholder started to
dance with a beautiful girl who had been told to "Move on" and
had fallen into the door of Dirty Dick's. No seconder was heard
and no vote was taken.
7) It was suggested by Sqd Ldr Powell that the A.G.M. for
1959 be held somewhere in the London district where the call
of "Time gentleman, and Edwards, Please" would not be heard
until a later hour.
Suggestions to the secretary would indeed be welcome.
8) Congratulations were extended to Sqn Ldr.J de M. Severn who
had recently opened a branch in B...........m Palace.
9) It was proposed by Bill Blake and seconded by Sailor
Biggs that the Motto "Smoke more underwear now" be officially
adopted. Passed by a majority of 32.
10) It was generally agreed that at the next meeting, Flt.Lt
Ken Goodwin would give a demonstration of a quick method of
destroying a piano. Flt Lt. Curly Hirst would break a plate
on the head of any non-member who was suspected of having
little sense of humour( eg calling a committee member a
guttersnipe) There was also a demand for a demonstration,
by the founder, of the breaking of a large thick meat plate
on Bodgers head as had been previously witnessed at the Head
Office at Upjever./Oldbg.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting
broke up half an hour after closing time. A few shareholders
had to be helped to their cars, and lumpy was obtained in many
various eating establishments.
Robbin Sandhole excelled himself by not honk-ing in
Hong-ong. Three shareholders missed their last trains home.
