BRIDLE PATH: Crocs has discovered that the cost of a day’s play plus a bacon sarnie and pint will be £12/person. He will attempt to book the tee for a date in March, possibly on a Friday.

The Cardinal revealed that he has had little response to his posting about possible future away days. G.W had suggested Hollins Hall near Bingley, but this suggestion was given a lukewarm reception by others who had played the course. Apparently the first hole is set on a hill, so precipitous, that crampons are required to gain access. Foxton was suggested as a possible overnighter but others thought that since it was so close, it was unnecessary to stay overnight. The Chair who had manfully attempted to steer the conversation to a meaningful conclusion, began to realise that he was flogging a dead horse and decided to put all suggestions for future away days on hold until the next meeting.

The meeting closed in good spirits at 1.10pm.
