PRESENT: A.B-W, B.Y, C.D, F.B, R.J(Ruggles),C.M, P.F, J.G, T.M, M.M, K.S, D.G-M.

RESULTS: Today’s game was the first of the month and was therefore played off white tees. There were 2×2’s by the Chair and Shagpile. DoD was the unfortunate Crocs with a paltry 25 points. Kwok was the DDoD with a miserable 27 points. The runners up were Brains and the Chair with 36 points apiece. The winner with a magnificent 37 points was the newest member of the MOHGS, the talented and big hitting Ruggles.

FINANCE: £2.80 was collected in swears and fines and is in the safekeeping of the Chair. There were no Geezers cards in operation.

TOASTS: The Chair welcomed back Burty Kwok after his extended leave on childminding duties.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

BEAMISH: The Chair was convinced that the Strap had all bases covered and the event would once more demonstrate his formidable organisational skills. Members were advised to be present at the clubhouse at 9am for meeting and greeting prior to the match. Buggies must be ordered in advance by contacting Jocks.

AOB: Shotgun and Windscale had been in conversation and ruminated about a collective noun to describe a group of MOHGS. They came up with a MERRIMENT or a MISERY of MOHGS. The Chair challenged members to suggest other suitable terms and report back at the next meeting.

* The Chair unilaterally declared that he was unhappy with the Monica awarded to our newest member and he intended to change it to RUGGLES, which he felt was more suitable for a talented young virile man.

* There was a short discussion about the Christmas Party. The Chair felt that it was inevitable that the clubhouse would be the venue, but he tapped the side of his nose while simultaneously winking and inferred that the President had a trick or two up his sleeve regarding the organisation of food. More would be revealed in the near future. Meanwhile he urged members to think outside the box and come up with ideas for a different format. Brains suggested that we could possibly do something with Velcro balls.

The meeting closed early at 1pm due to the fact that the cycling tour of Britain was imminent and there would be many road closures.

The Geezer and Kwok apologised for their absence next week.

B. Kwok.
