4th August
I am pleased to report a cash surplus brought forward from the Spain tour of
April 02 of Eur 100. Whilst useful, it is unlikely to prevent the need for
an urgent cash call on Friday 4th October, so Jolly Boys should ensure that
they are suitably armed with any of the usual negotiable instruments known
to be acceptable to the Whip.
In these uncertain economic times it is vital that Jolly Boys maintain their
total and unswerving loyalty to the Whip. A benign period of low inflation
has enabled Whippy to seek out modest daily margin calls to almost unknown
lengths, providing an endless stream of lager, wine meals, trolleys,
chocolate, water and other life essentials; it should not be assumed that
this will continue forever. Constant forward planning is essential. I urge
you to put all your assets into the joint names of yourself and the Whip, to
ensure that Whippy can gain access to your liquid resources for margin
purposes during times of your incapacity on tour. Forms to set up a trust
fund in favour of the Jolly Boys, in the event of your unfortunate demise on
tour are, of course, available from Committee Members at all times.
