£2.20 was collected in swears, which is being held in safekeeping by Shotgun, together with £2 in prize money, belonging to Scuttler and Bumpers.

TOASTS: To Michael Beaton aka Lord Snooty for keeping the MOHGS blog operational. The blog can be accessed at mohgs.com and contains a wealth of information in the historic data garnered from years of very interesting minutes.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS ACCURATE THOUGH BADLY INFORMED.

MATTERS ARISING: Kwok believed he was erroneously vilified via a scurrilous and badly informed set of minutes which virtually amounted to a character assassination and demanded a full retraction as well as an unmitigated apology. He was given neither. The Chair using all the power vested in his mighty office refused to budge and told Kwok to put an egg in his shoe and beat it.

BUSINESS: The Cardinal ventured the thought that now we had mastered the art of blogging, we should go the whole hog and open a twitter account.

BRIDLE PATH: No progress, although an attempt to contact the pro had been made by wily old Crocs.

HUNLEY HALL: All arrangements have been completed in exemplary fashion by the fastidious and resourceful Brains.

CHRISTMAS: It was decided that we should use the Golf Club as the venue for the party and decide on catering nearer the time.

AOB: The Chair will be on holiday for the next several weeks enjoying a well deserved break with Mrs B. He mentioned several times during today’s meeting that he felt as if he was now virtually running a one man show, especially in the light of his work load last week when he also took on the onerous responsibility of producing the minutes on top of everything else. The Chair deserves respect for pulling out all the stops and ploughing his furrow with such aplomb and good humour and applying himself with vigour and determination for the greater good of the Society.

The meeting closed at 1.28.

Kwok.
