Minutes of LeJoG Support Team Meeting

A Saturday meeting with families of children who have 9q34.3 deletion syndrome provided enough inspiration to take me on a 115km training ride to the south of Birmingham on Sunday. On the churchyard noticeboard in a small village in Worcestershire was an outdated flyer inviting all to “Lunch for Lent”, which sort of suggested the locals have not quite yet got the hang of Lent. On the route home I weaved my way through piles of manure on the lanes trying to remember not to yawn when passing cowsheds. The LeJoG Support Team meeting took place in the LeJoG operations room (our kitchen) in the evening. Director of Fundraising (Liz) said her corporate donation strategy was to smile at the people at Shell. Physiotherapist (Liz) said I looked knackered and Director of IT (Liz) said no, I couldn’t have an IPhone for the trip. I responded that if not I would feel obliged to let her mother know, via this blog, that when she phones, Liz pours herself a very large gin and tonic (without tonic) puts her mum on speakerphone and reads “Hello” magazine whilst occasionally shouting at random “Really? …. She didn’t ……. I know…..How interesting…”. I’m thinking a black 32Gb model might do the job. Liz’s mum: if you’re reading this then I’d like to offer you the position of Director of IT. Just post your CV here, nuff said. Nutritionist (Liz) had to be reminded of the gender related, chip sharing rule during Any Other Business and the meeting was then adjourned. All shaping up pretty nicely I think (apart from the resignation during AOB).
