Competition Results;

Two twos recorded on the 4^th by Bumpers and on the 17^th by The Matador who share the £2.40 collected.

Duffer of the Day with a lowly 21 points was Brains.

Deputy Duffer of the Day were Bumpers and The Scuttler with 28 points. (Will this be The Scuttler’s year as he has been telling everyone??)

Runner up was The modest Cardinal with a very competitive score of 39 points, he pouched £4, but the Champion Golfer for the week (and should be the Chairman’s Quaich holder had not the comp. been deferred) was the Prof with a super score of 41 points he collected £8

Handicaps will be adjusted as appropriate.

Geezers Cards were absent again but there appeared to be little appetite to contribute 20p each this week!

Swears made £4, a much better fist than last week.

Toasts:

To The Geezer and The Laird for winning the Seniors Pairs Calcutta, a performance to maintain the MOHGS reputation.

To Newcastle Falcons for reaching the RU Playoffs.

Previous minutes were agreed as a correct record.

Matters Arising

The question of the deferment of The Quaich was raised by The Cardinal who seemed to take a dim view of the change of plan. He was advised correctly that the decision of the Competition Secretary was inviolate. He was suitably chastised.

The Rabbi pointed out that Biggles et al were only playing 72 holes on Solstice day in aid of McMillan Nurses, presumably they only had a few hours off from defending Queen and Country. Donations to Rabbi please.

AOB

The Cardinal to send dates in July to Jockstrap for the Dirty Dozen match.

MM announced those playing on Friday in the Lifeboat Day at Newbiggin. The Geezer stepped in to fill the last slot.

MM announced three tee times for a Charity Do at Arcott Hall on 18 June. Names to Shaggers asap please.

In view of that date, Soapy Day was deferred to 25 June (unless it becomes Quaich two!)

The Geezer announced that an overnighter at Alnmouth Golf Club was a non-starter. Brains took up the Cardinals cudgel and offered to contact Hunley Hall.

Tee times booked for next Monday even though it is Bank Holiday. That being all the business the meeting closed at 1.15.

PS (Post Script) The Financial Secretary inadvertently left the Swears Tin on the meeting table. Those remaining took charge of the said tin for which the Financial Secretary is eternally grateful. In contrast to Government Ministers he will be doing an Amber at the earliest opportunity and not clinging to the wreckage like a drowning man. He is a gentleman after all!!
