LAST WEEK’S MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: The Straggler reported that he had received criticism from certain parties on the fact that he had represented the Dirty Dozen at Beamish and that if he had played for the Mohgs and Jocks had played for the Dirty Dozen the result would have been 3-3. This of course has no scientific basis as there is no way of knowing what the results of different individual matches would have been with the revised pairings chosen by the captain. The D.D. were one short and as the Straggler was an ex member of BPGC and Jocks had stated in the past that in these matches he would play for the “away” team when possible the Straggler agreed to play for the D.D. who were one man short in the interests of friendship and comraderie. The situation was further complicated when Desmond [N.B.] dropped out after the pairings had been finalised but this was overcome by the inclusion of the 2nd reserve Shagpile with slight adjustment to the pairings in order to allow him to share a buggy with Soapy.  J.G., G.W., and M.M. departed about this time if not before.

A.O.B. : The Rabbi and Jocks had played the final of the Chairman’s Quaich which was won by Jocks 5&4 who was presented with the said Quaich which he humbly accepted and was asked to immediatelty return it to Crocs for engraving the allegedly solid silver trophy.
