Apologies from all those not here.

Present:- PB, CM, JG, RY, RH, FB, GA, DF, TM, GW, ABW, The President also made an appearance at the meeting as did Shagpile.

Competition Results;- Joint Duffers of the Day were Winscale, The Laird, and The Geezer with 22 points. Deputy Duffer of the Day was the ever popular Competition Director with 24 points.

The Matador pocketed the twos money for today and last week

In second place was Prof. with 32 points, and the winner was Brains with 37 points.

The Chair questioned if a pattern was developing with Brians winning one week and being last the following week. It was quickly pointed out to the Chair that it was indeed a pattern but one unlikely to be repeated.

The Quaich again raised its head! The Laird exhibited his human side in offering an extension (!!) to Shagpile, who manfully and correctly (according to the Competition Director) declined. Therefore the semi-finals of the said trophy should be played by 22 August. Participants please note!

Toasts to Adam Peaty, Russell Knox, and to Tilly Jane Anne (latest addition to the Beaton clan)

Minutes of last weeks get together were agreed.

Matters Arising;- Trophies still not back with the Trophy Keeper.

Same tee times booked for next week by The Laird and The Cardinal. What has the Rabbi been up to?

Suggested visit to Tyneside on 19 September. An organiser would be nominated by the Chair.

Financial Report;- As at 1 August end of the MOHGS Financial Operating Period, the Swears Box contained £77.

Swears collected today £3, last week only £1.20 collected. The Financial Director believes that when he is not present fewer swears are admitted! This will be monitored closely.

The Geezer proposed that when singles are being played that 2 and 3 balls should be the norm. When the assembled company is divisible by 4 then 4BBB should be played. This was welcomed by most of the throng but the President was reluctant to allow fellowship to take a back seat.

The return of Dirty Dozen was confirmed for 12 September with 12 MOHGees. Depending on DD’s contingent $BBB will be played.

Apologies for next week PB, JG, PF
