APOLOGIES: All not mentioned above. Kwok apologises for the next several week due to business and a little pleasure.

RESULTS: No 2’s carded therefore £2 is carried forward. DoD was Brains with 23 points. The Prof, Crocs, Shagpile and the Viper were all DD’soD with 26 points apiece. El Matador was the runner up with 34 points. The winner and champine of the week with 37 points was Burt Kwok. Today’s game on the first Monday of the month  was played off the white tees. Other scores were: Rabbi 29, Laird 30, Soapy 27.

The result of the Quaich match was a win for D.F against K.S by 4&2.

TOASTS: To the whole Beaton clan on the birth of a baby girl to Fee and Noel. Congratulations to the happy couple as well as the doting grandparents.

To Crocs on his victory by a country mile in last week’s Senior competition. Crocs is a very popular fellow but his popularity went off the scale this week, when in an unmitigated display of generosity, he presented his fellow MOHGS with a donation of new potatoes from his recent harvest.

QUAICH: All outstanding fixtures must be completed by next Monday.

TROPHIES: All trophy holders are requested to return the sacred items to C.M for engraving. This is the second and final request.

AWAY DAYS: Brains reported that the list of courses with a reciprocal arrangement with Morpeth G.C has re-emerged and is affixed to the wall in the gents loo. He further reported after a long and sustained piddle that Whitley Bay, Northumberland, Blyth, Tyneside and Tynemouth are among the selected few. Shaggers also cautioned not to write off Bedlington as a venue, since he is owed quite a few favours by the hierarchy of said club and would be willing to negotiate a deal for the boys. The Viper had played there recently and extolled the virtues of the course in glowing terms. A decision was put on the back burner for more in depth discussion.

NEWBIGGIN RETURN: Shagpile would like to organise a return match against the Newbiggin clan in late September. He was given the blessing of the assembled throng to    make the thing happen.

CASH: The Laird agreed to hold onto the kitty for safekeeping, a total of £6. £2.80 in Geezers cards, £1.20 in swears and £2 in 2’s.

GEEZERS CARDS: P.F(60p), C.M(40p),J.G(20p),D.F(20p), B.Y(60p), P.L(20p), K.S(60p)——–£2.80.

Due to the absence of the Chair on Grandparenting duties, today’s meeting was chaired amicably by the Rabbi.
