The purpose of the meeting was to bring together members of the
Stammtisch which had been meeting at the Tolzer Stube, Arnulf Str.
under the name of Young People's Group, Deutsch-Englische Gesell-
shaft. This latter club has decided to meet elsewhere and as we
had decided to continue as before it was felt to be necessary to
form what is essentially a new club, with a new name and a new

Background

The meeting was opened by Geoff, one of the few surviving members
of the old DEG committee. He gave the background of the DEG and
described the events leading up to the present split.

Draft constitution ‘

Roger then read out a rough draft describing the Aims, Activities
and Constitution of the proposed new club, which he had prepared.
This was generally discussed and modified and is included as
Appendix A.

Call for committee candidates

Geoff then described the internal running of the DEG and described
what the duties of a committee member had been.

The above named members were then individually asked if they were
willing to stand for election. All agreed except Coleen and Dieter.

The election

It was then decided that the election would take place on the l2
March 82, as had already been published in a previous DEG notice.
An announcement will be made on the 5 March confirming this to

the club and calling for any last minute candidates.

As to the election, it was decided that anyone entering the Tblzer
Stube on the evening of the 12 March would be handed a ballot
paper showing the candidates and asked to put a X against lo
names. This paper will then be immediately placed in a convenient
ballot box. Polling will close at 10pm. Everyone voting will be
asked to sign a voting register.

A treasurer

It was then pointed out that the DEG was holding about DM700.-
which represented the surplus on our combined Fasching party. It
had previously been agreed that 80% belonged to us. It was felt
that this sum should be collected as soon as possible, at all
events before the DEG annual general meeting on the lo March. We
then proposed Stuart as our provisional Treasurer and he accepted.
A letter, signed by 10 of the members present was given to him
authorizing him to collect any monies due.

Name

After much discussion the name'German—English Association’ (GEA)
was decided as the new name of our club. To this will be added
‘Young People's Group in Munich’.
