Mr Davies is cross. He has spent ages writing the agenda for this year’s AGM – by changing the date on last year’s – and now the Officers are being patent attorneys about it. Specifically, the Pee-in-Waiting wants to rewrite it with the thank you speeches in a different order. This is unheard of in the history of CIPA. No Pee has ever rewritten an AGM agenda, not even me, and I have rewritten most everything else I’ve come across. Mr Davies smells Trouble. Our main problem is we cannot find time for everything. The VeePee-in-Waiting says he has an hour’s worth of acceptance speech. Then there is my three-volume end-of-Presidency speech. And I presume there will also be a little something from the Pee-in-Waiting, even if it isn’t very detailed and if all the thank yous are in the wrong order. And at some point we have to fit in our guest speaker, who is the new ITMA Pee and might want to talk about being Chartered 125 years too late. I suggest we include an interval. Unlucky Gary offers to sell ice creams. This makes Mr Davies even more cross: he has not budgeted for AGM ice creams.
