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

APOLOGIES: Falcon, Straggler, Jethro, Biggles, Cardinal, Crocs.

RESULTS: There were no 2’s posted. The DoD was El Mat with 25 points. The Rabbi was DDoD with 32 points. Runners up were the Laird and St. Rappe with 36 points apiece. The winner and this weeks champine was the ever popular Geezer with 37 points. The Geezer informed the group that Mr. B.H missed a sitter of a putt on the last hole which would have given him a share of the lead. Strap with his usual good nature, laughed this off—–through gritted teeth.

FINANCES: There was £1.20 in swears. The 2’s money carried forward was £1.80. The Geezer’s cards realised a total of £2.80——– Soapy(40p), Laird(20p), Kwok(20p), Brains(60p), El Mat(40p), Strappe(60p), Geezer(20p), Mr. McKay(20p).

The President praised the Geezer for the introduction of the cards which he remarked, not only added to the conviviality of the occasion, but also increased the kitty for use in future jaunts.

T.H, J.G and G.W, offered their excuses and left early.

THE RABBI ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHAIRING THE MEETING.

LAST WEEK’S  MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A TRUE RECORD.

DALMAHOY: Owing to the fact that St. Rappe was unable to attend the away day, there was general agreement that another date should be sought.However, this may not be possible if the Cardinal has already booked the venue. To his credit, Strappe, remarked that he was aware that there would never be a date which was suitable for everyone and that he was prepared to bite the bullet if the Cardinal had completed the booking.

QUAICH: The Comp. Sec. has devised a schedule for the competition which he will attach to the minutes. The first game should be completed by May 4 and the second round by June 15. The semi final should be played by August 24 and the final by September 28. All games should be played if possible on Mondays. The competition could begin as early as next week, depending upon the availability of contestants.

The Comp. Sec was praised for his forward thinking and planning. It was observed that he is so efficient that we should change his nickname to Nissan. The Geezer offered the name Nismo, since this is Nissan’s latest top of the range model, which his wife has recently purchased.

TOASTS: To the Geezer and his colleagues who won last week’s Senior’s Comp, by a margin of a massive 9 strokes.

To the Tigers for their second consecutive win.

Geezer’s Cards: The ever efficient Comp. Sec. has carried out an analysis of the Cards, which was requested last week by Brains. He has added columns to his already crowded data results sheet, which he hopes to update weekly.

The Geezer, rather gallantly paid 20p to allow Strappe to berate the Laird for a perceived slight.

The Laird had very eagerly imbibed Soapy’s Bovril on the 10th tee and offered his thanks to Margaret who had unselfishly prepared the mixture for her lucky spouse.

Tee times for next week are, 8.48, 8.56 and 9.04.

There being no other business, the meeting closed at 1pm.
