LAST WEEK’S MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: Mr. B.H has very graciously agreed to design a spreadsheet for the Dalmahoy Competition which will be fine tuned and completed by the Laird at the venue. The acting Comp. Sec. will decide the format for the weekend and reveal this to competitors prior to the games.

The Chair proposed an extension to the Geezer’s cards, whereby a chosen bunker each week would illicit a fine of 50p from those unfortunate enough to fall prey to its clutches. This was deemed a BAD idea by all present so the business moved on.

Clarification was given that all monies collected via the swears and Geezer Cards would be used at the discretion of the Soc. Sec./ Treasurer for use on away day outings for the purchase of necessities such as wine at the evening meal.

There was a truncated discussion on the reason for Kwok’s demotion. The Chair with a flippantly casual tap of his gavel responded that it was an executive decision and declined to be drawn further into the argument. He was tacitly supported by his Executive cohort.

Jock St. Rappe who is still in recovery after the op., but looking much more like his robust self, declared that he was willing to organise an away trip to Beamish but due to the state of the course at present, he felt that it would be better to delay the contest until mid to late May. Eight combatants signified an interest in attending.

The meeting closed at 1.30pm.
