PRESENT: B.Y, J.G, K.S, J.P, B.H, P.F, M.M, P.L. ( G.W attended for the meeting only.)

APOLOGIES: All absent friends.

Nobody was prepared to stand in for the absent Chair so the meeting was rudderless.

RESULTS: The contest was a better ball comp. played over 15 holes due to the inclement weather. There were three 2’s all by the Soapy-Paxo team. D’soD were Kwok-Prof with 34 points. Rabbi-Shagpile were runners up with 37 points. The winners with a superb 40 points were  Jocks-Brains. All current handicaps will remain in force until 1st. Jan., when they will revert to club handicaps.

40p was collected in swears and delivered to the Rabbi for safekeeping.

TOASTS: To Andrew Murray for winning SPOTY.

To a young boy suffering from Spina Bifida who won the Helen Rawlinson award.

To all absent friends.

The President thought it would be a nice gesture if everyone donated individually to the cost of the new bar refurbishments. Arguments were made for and against his proposal, so it was left hanging and no Gordian knot was cut.

Brains was lauded for his attempts to get the Events Diary up and running although it was reported that many members found it impossible to open the attachment. He assured the gathering that the glitch had now been rectified and he had posted a new refined itinerary and sent it to all members. The Secretary must have been missed off the list because he still awaits the revised version.

Talk turned to expectations for the new year and Paxo revealed that he had noticed a great deal to be had at Roxborough, where D, B&B as well as golf could be had for as little as £79 pp.

At this point in the meeting, fragmentation occurred as well as juvenile bickering and sniggering and sniping. This was no doubt due to lack of solid leadership.

AOB: It was decided to have a celebratory curry in the new year when all the weary travellers return. The Char Mausum was mentioned as a possible venue.

There are at least 4 members who are willing to play on Monday 28th. Dec., otherwise the next competitive game will be on Monday 4th. Jan.

The meeting closed at 1pm.🕐
