3. R*ns shall take place on Monday nights at the agreed hour of 7.00 pm.
    
4. R*ns shall be numbered according to a variant of the system adopted by The Great One: i.e. a number for each r*n indicating the order in which they were r*n, preceding or not preceding a r*n number indicating the number of times said r*n had been r*n.

6. On Special Occasions and on Special R*ns (As defined below)
   A special occasion or a special r*n is to be determined by a ballot of the half minds present / or absent at the time. Should the result of the Ballot indicate that there is one vote in the affirmative then such a special occasion or special r*n will be deemed to exist..
