To Richie Ramsey who won the Hassan II Trophy.

CORRESPONDENCE: Soapy sent a postcard to the Chair to say how much he was missing the old codger and how he was nonetheless having a good time down under.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A TRUE RECORD.

MATTERS ARISING: The Chair promised to speak to Strappe about the possibility of a Texas Scramble when the time is right.

Dallmahoy is booked for May 10th. The cost is £122 per punter and should be paid by April 10th.

C.M has ordered a single room and it was decided that the other single should go to P.B. The remaining contestants will be sharing, thus: Beaton/Beaton, Findlay/Layton, Fowler/Gibson.

The Chair had been approached by the Bailiff for sponsorship for a Charity walk which he will be undertaking shortly in aid of Heart Research. The Chair has Sponsor forms which can be completed by interested parties next week. The Bailiff will hopefully complete a walk along the Roman Wall on April 27.

AOB: Mr. P.B informed the group that the Senior’s team are short of players on 16th. April, for the visit to Seahouses. Three MOHGS signified an interest, which was remarkably the number of players he was short.

It was proposed that there be a Bowls Day this year since it had proved to be very popular 2 years ago. Mr. D.F declared that he would attempt to make arrangements for a bowls day in June/July.

The Chair tried to make progress on the CHRISTMAS PARTY since April is just around the corner and time flies. The proposed venue was Ephesus but at present the jury is out over its suitability in terms of service and food quality. Mr. P.B insisted that he will try it out shortly and give a definitive judgement.

Next Monday is Easter Monday and the Rabbi has booked two tee times at 8.56 and 9.04. There appears to be three interested parties at present.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 1.25pm.
