Meeting re-caps

MonSFFA meeting on the 19th of January

The meeting of January 19th was sparsely attended, possibly due to the cold and the storm predicted to hit us in the evening. Folks arrived so bundled up, we couldn’t recognize them until they stripped off the hats, mittens, scarves, and in one case, a ski-mask.

We started with the election which returned the usual suspect to office:

  • President: Cathy Palmer-Lister
  • Vice-President: Keith Braithwaite
  • Treasurer: Sylvain St-Pierre

Cathy thanked Keith and Sylvain for their many years of service to the club, and noted that Josée who has only ever missed one meeting of MonSSFA since its founding was unable to attend this one due to her mother’s illness. Keith made a motion to expand our room’s borders to encompass Josée’s home. Seconded by both Paula and Sylvain (it was a tie!) the motion was carried.

Danny Sichel was first at bat for the new year! We played the game that is sort of Balderdash. ( If you missed it, you can review the general rules of the game as played at an earlier MonSFFA meeting here.) There was much laughter as we tried to guess the plots of stories with very misleading titles. Sometimes the real plot was sillier than our imagined ideas!

After this, we worked on programming ideas for the year. Both Keith and Sylvain had prepared several topics for discussion and we have tentatively slotted the ones we liked best into our calendar. there are still a few open slots, so if there is something you want to present to the group, let us know. <president@monsffa.ca>.

There was a lot of plastic on display as Dom Durocher had brought in some of his model kits, including a very large Klingon ship. Cathy is twisting his arm to review model kits either in WARP or at meetings.

Supper was at Hurley’s Pub on Mark Burakoff‘s recommendation. It seemed to be a good day for an Irish stew! An Irish band was practising in a near corner of the pub, greatly adding to the cozy Celtic atmosphere.

Meeting recap: January 24, 2016

Nothing was scheduled before 12:15, but when I arrived much earlier than that, I found a few early birds enjoying The Tourist’s Guide to Discworld. Wonderful silliness! Part 1 can be found here:

There are seven more episodes covering such topics as cuisine, religion, flora and fauna, and so forth.  Some episodes are much funnier than others.  It’s probably a fan-made production. Apparently, this guide was recorded some time ago, before the head librarian became an orangutan, which might explain why it is in B&W.

Being still in the silly mood, we watched a couple of videos that had been shared on our fb group. The Fernster recorded us watching one of them, and uploaded it immediately, so we were watching ourselves watching ourselves watching ….oh, well, you had to be there.

The planning meeting started sometime around 12:20, and a programme for the meetings of 2016 was hammered out. The June outing has been brought forward to the March meeting so that the club can visit the Dinosaurs exhibit at the Old Port.

After the break, we held elections and appointed the editors of Impulse and WARP and the webmaster. All positions were filled with the incumbents: Cathy as president, WARP editor, and webmaster, Keith as VP and editor of IMPULSE, Sylvain as treasurer. There is one new position: Josée will be taking on the task of recording the names of participants due special recognition at our Christmas Feast.

After the raffle, we discussed planning again with the whole group. I was surprised by the interest shown in our webpage. Many asked that we have little workshops at every meeting rather than an early morning workshop. I would be very happy indeed to have more contributors!
