I'll take a pic in a mo. It has EP (vertically) F.G. & S (horizontally) NS (vertically).

The F.G. & S is what I think it says as it's not clear tho.

Don't worry, it was a weak play on a dated Biggles joke.

Might have a date, an arrow, a part no and the manufacturer on.

Fishtail.

Oh, the quorum is usually something like two-thirds or three quarters of mess members.

I thought you could wear whatever aftershave you liked! Bloody strict mess rule imho

I think a quorum will depend on the Mess. Obviously the number of mess members is important. Some rules may require a minimum number of members attending the meeting and then go for a simple majority, others may specify a certain proportion in favour. The OP needs the rules for that particular mess.

There may be something in QRs. Haven't read those for 15 years or more.

Are we starting another "let's see how far we can deviate in a thread" story board?

Mess Quorums to fish knives and old RAF camps in one page.

Pretty impressive!

In fact someone did check and there were not enough people there so we have to do it all again, which is good because we can ne ready for the knobs.

that would make sense as a fixed number to be quorate would be a bit of a joke in some units ( Fd Hosp or a Artificer numbers heavy unit for instance ) there might be ra rule based on a proprtion of the members ( a third plus one or somesuch) ...
