Now Cappy young man, having been away from your post for such time you will now need to provide a note signed by your mother to explain your absence.
Failure to do so will see you buying a beer for all members.
But you may reduce the penalty by paying the 3/9 you owe with compound interest of course making it now 4/6.
JS tells me he will stand you a loan to pay if you promise to buy him a case of beer.
