LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED except——–

* There was deep consternation about the whereabouts of the Geezer’s purse from two weeks ago. The minutes asserted that the cash was in the safe hands of the Hon. Comp.  Sec. However he vehemently denies that he was in receipt of the cash, which puts the society and poor old Geezer in the horns of an unprecedented dilemma. The Chair suggested that we leave the situation hanging until next week, when other members who are absent today, may be able to shed light on the issue. If there is no satisfactory resolution, the Chair declared that the Geezer will be paid an extra £2 from the tin, to compensate for the anguish and distress incurred. The Crocodile ventured that it might be time to engage an independent auditor. A tearful Geezer, graciously accepted the decision but revealed that he was desperate to be reunited with the cash, to top up his pension and keep the wolf from the door.

* Bumpers and the Croc, intend to play their Quaich match next Monday.

* Shagpile paid the Chair £40 for his MOHGS shirts.

BUSINESS:

Shagpile has booked three tees for Monday 27 June at Arcot Hall for a children’s charity golfing event. The cost is £25/person which includes lunch. The menu will be a choice of: Roast Pork Dinner, Steak and Ale Pie or Ham Salad. Those who wish to play are: J.G, K.S, P.F, F.B, T.M, J.T, C.M, B.H. More information will be revealed next week.

* There will be a charitable Geordie themed night in the clubhouse on Fri 24 June. Tickets cost £5/person and the entertainment will be supplied by the Worky Tickets. It is hoped that the event will raise the funds to purchase a defibrillator for the club.

A game has been arranged for Friday of this week, since many members are not playing on Wednesday. Those who are interested are, F.B, D.F, P.L, B.Y, C.M, J.G, P.F, K.S, T.H.
