Read last week's instalment

Read from the beginning

Summer is drawing to a close in Ballygobbard and still the Beast mystery rolls on. Life is continuing apace too, though. John’s Tots-n-Traps weight class for toddlers is proving to be a mega-hit with local parents, Mad Tom and Rocky have set a date and Majella and Pablo are properly stuck into their house building project. One evening, the Ballygobbard Project committee is having what is expected to be a regular meeting to catch up on the time capsule, its artefacts and the burial ceremony when its members are rocked by a surprise visitor with jaw-dropping news …

ARTEFACT #009: COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 3

COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:

Chairperson: Una Hatton

Secretary: Tessie Daly 

Treasurer: Terry Crowley 

Researcher: Peter Mahon 

Public Relations Manager: Aisling

OTHERS PRESENT:

Constance Swinford

UNA HATTON: Let’s get started, shall we? I’d first like to thank you all for honouring the hierarchy vis-à-vis parking spaces outside.

TESSIE DALY: (magnanimously) Well, we don’t have much of a choice since you had the sign made.

TERRY CROWLEY: Will you not sit down, Constance? Don’t mind me standing, the new knee has been giving out since that fog on Tuesday.

CONSTANCE SWINFORD: I’m not staying Terry, go ahead and take your seat.

TESSIE: Constance, can I just ask you to lower the volume a tad? My new hearing aid is very sensitive and I could feel that in my molars.

CONSTANCE: (mercifully quieter) Apologies, Tessie. Carry on everyone.

UNA: (shrill, snotty) Teresa, I saw you pressing play on the recorder a minute ago so I presume all of this chit chat will be accurately recorded when you’re typing out the minutes?

TESSIE: (rising above it) Of course, Una. You’ll be quoted precisely and warmly, as always.
