    "The Kidlington Harriers"
    Mr. E. Greaves: We ought to have an agenda. We are the only Council which does not have one.
    The Chairman: You were chairman for many years and got on well without an agenda.
    Mr. Greaves: It is a bigger district and a different class of men to deal with. (Loud laughter.)
    Mr. Kitson: There is a new pack of hounds, the Kidlington Harriers. Their chief job is to harry you gentlemen.
