PRESENT: P.L, P.B, J.G, K.S, B.H, T.M, P.F.

The Chairman was absent therefore his seat was adequately filled by the resourceful Rabbi.

RESULTS: There were no 2’s therefore the £1.40 will be carried forward to next week. DoD was the Cardinal with 26 points. The Geezer was DDoD with 30 points. The runner up was Brains on 36 points. This weeks champine was the ever popular Comp. Sec. Mr. B.H with a tremendous 41 points in incredibly difficult conditions.

APOLOGIES: Laird, Jethro, Matador and Biggles.

FINANCES: £1.40 was collected from the Geezer’s cards. £2.60 in swears. The geezer overpaid and has 4 swears in credit.

LAST WEEK’S MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A MORE ACCURATE RECORD THAN THE WEEK BEFORE.

MATTERS ARISING: The Cardinal reported that the restaurant formerly known as Saffron has risen from the ashes and will henceforth be known as Ephesus. He was unable to identify its ethnicity but was convinced that with that monicker it was likely to be Greek. There would have to be an advance party to ascertain its credentials before the real party. However Soapy continues to champion the Manzil and recommended the vindaloo to all serious aficionados.

The Cardinal discovered that the Marriott at Dalmahoy is offering 2 rounds of golf, dinner, bed and breakfast for £129 during the month of April. This rises by £7/ head during May. It was felt that May would be the better option weather wise. The Geezer has played the course but urged caution, since he found that after a couple of drinks, it was almost impossible to find his way back to the bedrooms because of the weird layout of the accommodation.

Carlisle and Selby courses were suggested by the Geezer although P.B said Carlisle was very wet when he last visited. P.L recommended Seaton Carew as an admirable links course.

The Rabbi has booked the tee times for next week: 8.48, 8.56 and 9.04.

There being no other business, the meeting closed at 12.55.
