I welcome the members of the committee, all of whom are present. 
The officials told me that, as the oldest member, I must preside over the first two items on the agenda. If any of you read, as I do, PG Wodehouse's humorous golfing stories, you will know that the oldest member is the club bore and is of great antiquity and thoroughly geriatric. I am, however, allowed only two items, so I hope that I will not qualify in that way.
