He thanked CraigBox ("Craig's legs have fallen off") and MattBrown ("the Greig award for most enthusiastic and dedicated member of the committee"), as well as the other members of the 2005 committee. Greig ended by telling the meeting that he personally enjoyed the challenge of being on the committee since incorporation, but felt it was time to freshen up and offer some new spaces.
