James farted. Considering he didn't even bother coming last year this was a bad start for his involvement.

The chairman asked 'Where shall we go?'. Ed nominated Spain, Deepan nominated Portugal, seconded by Dave. 

Deepan insisted that any mention of Ireland would result in expulsion. Ed said Hawaii.

Dave re-iterated the point of 'Where?' 

The chairman got around to answering his own question and suggested England, seconded by Jonny, thirded by Nick. The chairman, in order to complicate matters, made another suggestion of racing to Liechtenstein. James was enthusiastic and mentioned the Gumball rally. The idea of a road trip won the majority vote; 5 for and 3 against, although it was later ruled out as being too expensive (although no-one knew how much it would cost).

Deepan pleaded the case for Spain, quoting a cost of £66 return flights excluding tax. There was a general consensus of being impressed with Deepan's advanced planning.

The chairman, in an attempt to complicate matters even further, suggested Italy. Deepan rebuked him because it would be too expensive.

Ed, in a desperate attempt to replicate his lost Hawaiian dreams, asked for a water park, or Centre Parcs. It was pointed out that Centre Parcs need someone over 18 to be in the group.

The chairman made his fourth suggestion of the meeting, namely a return visit to Cornwall. He said it SERIOUSLY. Nick seconded. There was much argument, some for, some against, some wanting lunch. The chairman's dulcet tones were heard to mention that an overseas trip would prove too complicated, since apparently passports are very difficult things to understand. Nick, in what seems to be an allegiance-forming mood, seconded the proposal.

There was yet another unanimous vote against girls.

Three of the party were against returning to Cornwall. They were Dave, Ed and Deepan.

The handwritten minutes say that 'Dave was about to explode'.

A vote was taken, awarding 2 points for a first choice and 1 point for a second. The votes were as follows:

Cornwall was decided upon, although there were murmurs of discontent, bribery, treachery, backstabbing and lunch.

Dave pointed out that we were missing Mark and J-P as well as potential candidate Iain McSmith.

James, led by Jonny, started 'skiing'.

Travel was decided upon as train or own cars. The coach was flamed. The chairman was put in charge.

Accommodation: Youth Hostel (Dave) vs. Holiday home (Deepan)

Where exactly in Cornwall shall we go?
