MATTERS ARISING:

1. The Comp. Sec. announced the dates by which each round of the Competition for the CHAIRMAN’S QUAICH should be completed. Round 1, by mid April. Round 2 by end of May. Round 3 by mid July and the final round by the end of Sept. All participants must email the Cardinal before the end of Jan. to signify their intentions and be prepared to pay a £2 entrance fee.
2. Crocs and Strappe thanked all who had contributed to the Movember appeal. The Comp. Sec. Is now a tash free zone.

BUSINESS OF THE DAY:

1. Terry’s cards had their first outing and initial reaction appears quite favourable although there are one or two things to be bottomed out. P.B has taken responsibility for the cards until next week.
2. The tees are booked for 10.40, 10.48 and 10.56 next week.
3. Crocs has unearthed a dart board and darts for use at the party. The Geezer was concerned that the position of the board was adjacent to the flat screen TV. The Chair was confident that the TV was in no danger and that he would personally cover any accidental damage.
4. There appears to be 9 members attending the Christmas Party. All participants have completed the data sheet to signify their food preferences. The Soc. Sec. will negotiate the final menu with the caterers based on the data.
5. The Chair was concerned that the chips would go cold if they were all delivered at the same time. The Soc. Sec. said that he would attempt to persuade the caterers to trickle the chips at intervals in order to keep a fresh supply on stand by. Soapy was convinced that the caterers would have the sense to serve the grub at the appropriate times.
6. The food will be available from 1.30-2pm. The cost will be £15 per head.
7. MOHGS polo shirts and/or jumpers should be worn if possible.
8. The Sec. will post the AGM agenda on line within the week.
