Thursday, June 5

 It looks like another quiet day.  I have a note in my diary that I have to pick up Nera's nephew, Brendan, from Deloraine at 2 o'clock.  Normally Jamie would do this but he clearly has something more important (or more interesting) to do.  The note has been there for a week or more but Jamie tells me it might now not be necessary for me to make the trip.  I await the final decision with interest.  It's a 100km round trip which is not a problem but I'd rather find something else to do.  

There are some changes happening at Probus at the moment which are causing me some consternation.  I tried to resign from the job of Treasurer at the last AGM but nobody else would take the job.  At the last meeting we had a new member who took over the job of Secretary and he announced he had a mate lined up who would be happy to take on Treasurer.  Happy days!  He wasn't yet a member so all he had to do was get him to join.

I had a note yesterday from the new secretary asking me for my resignation.  His plan was that this new member would be inducted to the club and, at the same meeting, would immediately, become Treasurer.  I was a bit non-plussed and suggested it might be better if he at least got his feet under the table before taking on a job.  The new secretary has now got his knickers in a knot and is assuming I don't want to give it up. 

So, this morning I will write my resignation, send it to the Secretary and hope everything works out for all concerned.
