Capping Group Rowdy

Capping Group Rowdy

It was reported at the last executive meeting that at the Graduand's Dinner, during the speeches, there was one particular group which frustrated all efforts to keep them quiet and to stop them breaking glasses and jugs.

David Baird said that this particular group's behaviour was disgusting and that it was frustrating the efforts of others and himself to raise the tone of the function.

He said that this group, which included a Professor, was mainly composed of members of the Geology Department. They behaved like louts, particularly the gentleman who performed on top of the table.

Exec, decided to move a motion that a letter be written to the Geology Department, complaining about the behaviour of members of their staff.

Robin Bell, although in full agreement with the motion, refused to move it on the grounds that he was going to Antarctica with these people in the near future.

The letter is going to regret the rowdiness and say that the executive had hoped for a more dignified manner on such a formal occasion.
