PRESENT: F.B, P.L, T.M, D.F, K.S, P.B, P.F, J.G. G.W (attended meeting, didn’t not play).

The results were delayed because the Chair announced, ” We’re lacking Brains.” Once Brains appeared, the meeting began.

RESULTS: The Laird agreed to be guest Comp. Sec. due to the absence of St. Rap. He remarked that it had been a very competitive morning with some very close results. DoD were F.B and D.F with 40 points. The winners were P.F and P.L with 44 points. T.M and P.B had 42 points, whilst J.G and K.S had 41 points. Winners h/caps to be deducted one shot and losers increased by one shot. There were 2×2’s by Soapy and the Cardinal who shared a pot of £1.60.

GEEZER’S CARDS: F.B(20p), P.B(40p), T.M(20p), P.F(40p), J.G(60p)——-£1.80.

Brains reckoned that the Geezers Cards are biased against the high h/cappers and would like an analysis of the results to prove/disprove his theory.

There was 60p in swears. The Chair reluctantly coughed up all monies which he had been holding for safekeeping during the absence of the Fin. Sec. A total of £6.60 was begrudgingly extracted.

APOLOGIES: Minto, Hallett, Evans.

LAST WEEK’S MINUTES ACCEPTED AS A TRUE RECORD OF EVENTS.

The date of the proposed away day to Dalmahoy has been changed to 10 May owing to the Soc. Sec., being involved in a competition for the Seniors in his new role as Captain on 18 May. It was deemed important that he was supported by the MOHGS in view of his recent elevated status. The President, with typical generosity of spirit proposed the change of date. He will attempt to attend the venue but will be obliged to return home early on Monday morning to attend a prior engagement. Ten members signified genuine interest in attending, with the possibility of the Kid, Snooty, Desmond and Kwok junior also turning out.

There followed the draw for the CHAIRMAN’S QUAICH.

The Cardinal v The Falcon

The Straggler—–Bye

The Geezer v Brains

The Rabbi——-Bye

Croc O’ Dile v Desmond

Jock St. Rappe—-Bye

Soapy v The Laird

Delboy v Kwok

ANY OTHER BUSINESS: The Chair remarked that he had observed that there appeared to be a sub group of MOHGS, whom he referred to as shopkeepers, because they play regularly on Wednesdays. He indicated that he felt snubbed, since he had been dropped by the group and was forced to find solace in the company of sundry others. The Laird opined that it was the Chairs own fault since he had insisted on playing later in the day.

The Chair was castigated by Kwok for telling tales and snitching on Kwok over alleged swearing misdemeanours. The Chair offered no signs of remorse and indeed paid 20p in advance before calling Kwok a ” Little turd.” Kwok responded by paying 20p in advance before telling the Chair to ” F#### off.”

Tee times next week 8.56 & 9.04. The Rabbi was thanked for booking the tee times.
