Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Peterhouse Society

Saturday 27 June 2015

The Annual General Meeting of the Peterhouse Society for 2015 was held
on Saturday 27 June 2015, in the Friends of Peterhouse Theatre.

Present: the Chairman, the Treasurer and the Secretary, and about 20
members of the Society.

1. Minutes of the Annual General Meeting, 2014

The minutes were approved.

2. Matters arising from the minutes

There were no matters arising from the minutes.

3. Chairman's report

The new Chairman, Lord Thomas, welcomed members to the Annual


General Meeting. It had been a busy year for the Society starting
with the London Drinks evening at the Liberal club with a talk by
Matthew Gould, the British Ambassador to Israel. Almost 100
Petreans attended the second London Carol Service at St James’
Garlickhythe in the City of London. It was a delightful occasion with a
joint Peterhouse and Petrean choir augmented by one or two visitors
(notably the Chairman’s wife) and followed by refreshments in a
local hostelry. In February the Whittle Building was officially opened
by HRH The Prince of Wales – a splendid occasion helped by the
weather. The Golf Day earlier this month had again been a great
success and plans are underway for another event next summer
which will sadly be the Master’s last. Particular thanks are due as
always to Ann Munro and Alison Pritchard-Jones for their
organisational help with all the events and the excellent
communications, and a warm welcome to Holly Ashcroft who joined
the team in October and is proving to be a real asset.

4. Treasurer's Report

Andrew McIntyre, the Treasurer, presented the Society's accounts


for the year ended 31st December 2014, tabled at the meeting. He
reported that discussions continue about the possible use for the
funds and that it was hoped to find a suitable object in the coming
year. Mr William Knighton then pointed out that there was a
typographical error in the last line of the accounts. The Treasurer
thanked him for spotting this and asked the Secretary to ensure that
it would be corrected on the website.

The Treasurer's report was then adopted.

5. Election of Officers and Committee members

The Chairman thanked the retiring members of the Committee, Mr


Barltrop, Mr Michael Foster, Dr Neil Hartman, Mr Roddy Houston, Mr
Andrew McIntyre and Mrs Esther Webster for their service to the College
during their term of office. He then reported that Mr Michael Foster, Dr Neil
Hartman, Mr Roddy Houston, and Mr Andrew McIntyre had kindly
agreed to serve a further term of three years. After a show of hands they were
duly re-elected. Mr Nicholas Boys Smith (m. 1993), proposed by Mr Tim
Harding, was then elected by a show of hands to serve on the Committee for
the coming three years. The Chairman said that there remained a vacancy on
the Committee and proposals for anyone to be co-opted would be welcomed.

7. Any other business

There was none.
