Brains, The Scuttler and Quok for second place last Wednesday. (Although we do not usually recognise runners up)

At this point The Geezer turned up and the Chair was remiss in welcoming him back into the fold after major surgery. However The Geezer did regale to assembly with a view of his impressive scar!

Christmas Party

Four tees booked from 10.56 next Monday

Fortunately the Club Chairman made an appearance at that point and agreed that the MOHGS could bring their own food into the clubhouse next Monday. Also Charlene confirmed that the bar would remain open for the festivities.

That having been bottomed out, the following dishes have been offered up:

Winker                         Chips and Dips

Others are invited to bring food to complement the above.

The Cardinal will place funds behind the bar to allow each MOHGS member a drink or two next Monday from the Swears tin.

Dress to be smart casual, however festive garb required for the course of course.

AOB

The Laird was impressed at the negotiating skills of Shagpile over the Christmas Party conundrum and proposed that he should be elevated to the Executive.

The Cardinal wanted to support the proposal but such an elevation would require an AGM proposal in writing in a brown envelope twenty one days prior to the AGM

The current Executive was mightily relieved to hear that their sinecure was secure for another year!

The meeting disintegrated at 1.00pm.
