An exercise in democracy

Quite a fraught Moot this month. You know how these meetings are - those people who want to grandstand tend to blot out those of us who have something important to say. But thankfully we managed to come to some conclusions in the end.

The first motion was "That this Moot grants the Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley an extra 5% of everyone's income, to enable Eileen to fend off the banks who want their money back after ill-advised investments in non existent olive groves." And I'll be honest, I was saddened at the "No" vote. Especially as Hnaef was forced to resign from the Olive Grove Inspection Team, who have had many exciting fact-finding expeditions to the Greek olive groves (and beaches) over the years.

Still, Motion 2 was "That this Moot grants the Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley an extra 5% of everyone's income, to enable Eileen to fend off the banks who want their money back after ill-advised investments in non existent olive groves. Or else."

And I'm pleased to say that the Motion was carried. Now we can go out to bark at the moon, knowing the Community is safe. Till next time.
