Other scores — T.H-37, P.F-32, M.S-37, M.M-32, D.G-M-33, C.M-34.

Crocs’ group revealed that they had entered the contest devoid of Geezers cards but had used their initiative and substituted coloured tee pegs for the cards, thus ensuring that they adhered to the spirit of the law. They were warmly commended by the Chair.

FINANCES: Swears— £1.60. Geezers cards— £3.40.

TOASTS: To Shagpile on the event of his birthday. He, very generously purchased drinks   for the members to celebrate the momentous event.
To the Lions, who managed to draw the Test series.
To the men and woman’s cricket teams who were victorious in their respective matches.

The MOHGS Chalice was presented to the current champion, Kwok, by the previous winner, the Scuttler. A celebratory snap was taken by Crocs to commemorate the event.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
Matters Arising: Doubts still remain about the infamous Winker incident from last week. However it was agreed that the correct decision was made at the time by the omnipotent Chair, whilst wearing the hat of Comp. Sec.

AWAY DAY AT THE CITY COURSE: Crocs was commended for organising the event. There are at least 10 interested participants, including the Laird and Rabi. There are 4 tee times booked, beginning at 10.02. The cost will be £18pp and MOHGS h/caps will prevail.

The Geezer generously donated £1 to the coffers to mitigate his appalling behaviour on the 13th, when after yet another abysmal shot, he petulantly flung his club in the general direction of his errant ball.

The Chairman thanked Dewey for stepping into the void created by the absent Laird and delivering today’s results. The Chair also suggested that it may be an opportune moment for new blood to take over the helm and allow him to retire gracefully to the relative tranquility of the back benches. Dewey quickly countered this proposal by declaring that the society was in need of strong and stable leadership at this juncture and a change in leadership was not an option. There was general agreement that the status quo should prevail. The Chair acknowledged this vote of confidence and closed the meeting at 1.21pm, which gave the members the opportunity to avail themselves of the free tatties on offer from the ever generous Crocs.
