- Soldier Dodge was commended for his rapid rise up the ranks of the mafia. Considering the fact he is English, his rise has been nothing short of meteoric. His posts on the www.thesilverfern.com have displayed blatant bias, a propensity to irk other posters who insult the mighty BOP steamers and an incredible record of having supported BOP to a 6 win, 3 loss record.

- Unfortunately Soldier Dodge ruined some of his previous good work by changing his avatar on the www.thesilverfern.com message board to Stephen Jones. Whilst not a listed enemy of the BOP mafia... Stephen Jones is a complete ass. Dodge defended his actions as "just being a joke", however his defence was dismissed and he was sentenced to 2 hours of Currie Cup rugby watching. Dodge showed great courage during this torturous punishment and impressed all watchers by chanting "Dirty Scumbag Waikato", "Glenn Jackson for AB captain", "Western Bay Finance Are Great", "Hawke's who?" and "Mummy.. make it stop" (well we weren't impressed by the last one... but hell it WAS Currie Cup rugby after all!!) during the viewing punishment.

- Future events for the branch were discussed and a mission to 'The Stoop' is planned. Members Baron, Dodge, Baroness and Just will attend a Harlequins game and infiltrate the Harlequins command structure and attempt to form a strategic alliance with this prominent English club (besides they have cool jerseys with an emblem of some geezer with a wicked looking sword!). Mention must be made of member Justs sacrifice of attending a game of at the headquarters of a rival club to his beloved Wasps (winners of 2003 Zurich Premiership). However Wasps location in Watford is far too close to a nest of Taniwha supporters who are not due to be eradicated until May 2004.

- In light of his efforts Just was promoted to associate level (pending HQ approval) and will be added to the website. Congrats to Just.
