All day Comart Group meeting, approving the new structure and accepting government grants. Confirmation of my personal entitlement to a Grant of Arms ‘with banner and badge) from the ‘Rouge Dragon’ but also of a US invasion of Grenada, which is poorer news!
Early to the office, beating Derek W. to the first Director’s parking place to his and my surprise. Then to work on slides and notes for the presentation to today’s Board Meeting and to gather up all the necessary comments to changes of Directorships and acquisition of Comart Companies Ltd. A tough all-day meeting starting with the formal business that from today makes Comart Ltd the proud owner of the new company to which all business activity will be transferred from January 1st next year. Also to approve, subject to obtaining the CAD DTI grant, a £70,000 capital investment in computer aided design. In all a full board meeting that lasted until early evening with implications and changes that will take some time to implement.
Dramatic news today of a U.S. invasion of Grenada which had taken place without British support. This in spite of its Commonwealth , with a Queen’s Governor-General in position. Opposition politicians have taken the opportunity to draw the comparison with European two-key control with the U.S. on nuclear weapons. On the island are already present Cuban and Russian advisors.
Good news today from The Royal College of Arms and in the person of the Rouge Dragon Pursuivant. It seems that I might well be granted arms as a gentleman with the distinction of a heraldic Badge and Standard, awarded only to grantees ‘with a large following.’ I am resolved to petition for such a grant even though the costs will be over £1000. This, as I am getting hints from ‘those that be’ that I might be considered for an honour shortly due to my computer industry contributions! Tired and slightly late to bed after a long day.
