[nesfa-reading-group] fussing over singular "they"

[cjhi newcastle2.com]

I went looking for something completely different in the NESFA Standing Rules and found the following annotation:

[In the last sentence of (f) above, "their" was originally "his". This is the first of numerous such changes (mostly not noted separately), nearly all made by a global "sex change" amendment in 12/79.]

which means that a majority of the club agreed 45 years ago to restore the long-standing practice.
