MATTERS ARISING: Brains revealed that the seat which had disappeared from the 18th hole was being repaired and will no doubt reappear shortly.

AWAY DAYS: Crocs will continue to enquire about Craigie Law but had nothing of worth to report.

Shagpile knew of a good venue near Carlisle which would he recommended as a possible location for an away day.

*The away day at Bedligton is set for Tuesday, 11th October at 10am for a maximum of 12 members. Eight of the members present today registered an interest in playing. Other  interested parties should contact Shagpile ASAP.

* The Chair, in an unmitigated display of generosity, informed the group that he was in receipt of a voucher for four people to play at Bedlington which he was willing to donate in order to offset the cost of the game.

* No progress was made on the venue for the Christmas Party.

* Shagpile reported that tickets are on sale this weekend only, for a three course meal in the company of Mark Clattenburg for the price of £20 per head at the Clubhouse. Only 100 tickets are available.
