Grumpy Volunteer's Corner

by Keith Evans

For some time I've thought that there are too many volunteers with the same Christian names causing considerable confusion. Something needs to be done. One of my popular but rather absent-minded colleagues came in one morning and greeted his pals, getting their names mixed up. He was corrected of course but commented "Ah well, never mind, near enough." I know how he felt.

Something must be done about those with the same name. I suggest a re-Christening ceremony. The Waterfront would be an ideal venue, allowing for complete immersion of course. Bring your own cozzies although towels are available. We haven't got a museum padre but Jonathan would look good in a dog-collar. Of course I was here first so I'm exempt. I haven't investigated the ladies but I think the same applies. Now calm down gentlemen, you know the excitement is not good for you. I suggest a date for the ceremony should be 1st April.
