Not just one meeting but two

1 Blazer, LSE tie, black shoes - all were in place. And so was I, and the others. The AGM began on time; we moved through the agenda without distress; we reached Adrian Davies, the guest speaker. He spoke as well, with gentleness and knowledge, as he always has. At the end of the meeting, Peter, our long-ago and scarcely-regretted treasurer, came up to congratulate me. We took our tea and coffee but, in accordance with my direction, just one or two took their leaves. The SGM opened, the resolution was amended, there were just one or two comments from the floor, and it was time to put the resolution to the meeting. Hands of approval in the air; no hands of disapproval. The Board has been authorised to negotiate with WSCU the possibilities of a merger.
Two meetings accomplished; no evident distresses; the outcomes were the ones which the Board sought.

1.1 Outside the door of the lavatory, I said Hello to an elderly and unassuming man. I said 'I'm Don' 'I'm John', he replied, 'John Thomas'. His stepfather had christened him so. In the Army, his name was called out 'John Thomas'. He stepped forward. In his words, 'the roof fell in'. And he didn't know why. Afterwards, he was known in the Army as Dick.

2 I mentioned that Liam had declared his inability to chair a meeting, his dislike of the activity. Effective meetings require effective chairing. An ineffective chair will lead the meeting all over the place.

3 And so we will begin the negotiations with Adrian and anyone else. I take it that our meetings will be restricted to officers from WSCC and from EGDCU and to Adrian and perhaps Jenny King.

Thoughts?
