Fledgling Commissioner

Today I sat, for the first time, as a commissioner at a consents hearing.
That's me on the far left, beside the Chairman and his brass bell.
It was a very interesting experience and I had a lot of questions for the applicants and submitters alike.
I think we reached the right conclusion, made good decisions and looked pretty sharp all at the same time.
I've had to Photoshop myself and my fellow commissioners out of the shot for legal reasons, but you could imagine-in some responsible looking characters (or some monkeys, depending upon your point of view) to complete the scene.
