The motion was for the 2023 Alumni to be back at the Morocco Gym. The pros and cons of both locations were
open for comments: voting was opened
by Mike Shireley with Herb Barnett counting the votes. The results were for the 2023 Alumni to be
held at the Morocco Community Hall with considerable higher votes. The past
