First of all a vote of thanks to The Food Curmudgeon for provision of the delicious meat loaf sandwiches and to The Wine Guy for that outstanding Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. The cleanskin white wine laid on for the non-associates (I don't know why it was laid on - that only warms it up) is unused since they didn't show up and did not send in apologies. Very Rude. We will retain this for use as a cleaning aid or as an insect killer.

Members were very pleased to review the blogging figures and to learn that they far exceeded other blog associations in terms of quantity, quality, variety and reader interest. Well done to everyone.

The THE CURMUDGEON INCⓒ logo was not accepted so we will have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Literally we will have to draw our own as the offerings from the web are unsatisfactory. The Curmudgeon Express will investigate the possibility of investing in a cartoon creation app or software and will report at the next meeting.

The THE CURMUDGEON INCⓒ badges were a success and proved very useful for identification at the bar. The Wine Guy and his beverage team would have found it very difficult identifying members without this form of ID. Thank you to the Curmudgeonly Luddite for providing these. Everything doesn't have to be digital Ha ha.

Unfortunately Bas of Bas's Bag did not arrive but he did telephone in his apology. As he doesn't have FaceTime on his computer he was going to ride here but saddle sores from his bike proved to be a limiting factor. Get well soon Bas.

We had correspondence from Capitano R. Testore, Officer in Charge of RBB Blog Police threatening
THE CURMUDGEON INCⓒ of some investigation. We have successfully dealt with this correspondence via SPAM filter.

There was some discussion of blog frequency and blogging priority. Let it be known that The Chair and The secretary do not have any favourites when it comes to posting posts. As long as the post is written it will be published - just send it through to The Curmudgeon. This could mean a minimum of 16 blog posts a day if you all get off your arses bother to get the creative juices flowing. Let's do this!


Meeting closed at 3PM for afternoon tea and drinks.

Please, on behalf of myself and The Bass Bagging Confederation, accept our apologies for not attending your function. We were advised by Capitano R. Testore of the RBB Blog Police that your Chair was currently under investigation for using foul language to their Officer in Charge and that attendence was inappropriate until the matter was settled by the blogging court. As a compensation some of us stayed behind after bass practice and downed a few Cleanskin Chardonay 2017s. Unfortunately most of our staff took the strange notion to go off and read Robert's blog. Please just hope that they are not leaving comments because we are currently low on twink.

I was there. That was me puffing vape an the far left.
It was a bit of waste of time; you did well to stay home.

There would have been a lot of moaning and grumbling. And, I suppose, a lot of talk about outside seats blowing over.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes, that was a joke used by a few of the Curmudgeons since The Curmudgeon was The Chair (did you see what I did there?).
The joke got repeated a bit after a few wines ...hey, maybe you could become an affiliated curmudgeon - Richard's Curmudgeonly Bass Bag.
