Bumpers, El Mat, Ming and the Prof were not present for the meeting.

The Chair offered apologies for his absence next week.

RESULTS: The results were delivered by Brains. Only one 2 was posted this week by Crocs on the 17th. He not only lifted today’s prize money but also the unclaimed dosh from the previous week. Today’s game was a 4 Ball Better ball competition. D’soD were Soapy and Shotgun with 32 points. Runners up were the Laird and Winscales with 41 points. The joint winners were Ming/Crocs and Rabbi/Prof. with 43 points.

FINANCE: £3.30 was collected in swears and £3.40 in Geezers cards.

TOASTS: To Winscales for his dogged determination in proposing toasts which were kicked into the long grass by the membership.

To the President for making his second playing appearance of the season.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A TRUE AND ACCURATE RECORD.

BUSINESS: Jock St. Rappe has proposed several dates for the game v Beamish. After very little debate it was decided that we accept his offer for 9th of July if this is indeed a possibility. The number of bacon butties required will be announced when we are more aware of the members who intend to play.

* The Laird proposed that we play the game v Hobsons at the end of July/beginning of August. He will make more enquiries and report back.

* Brains reported that he has contacted Hunley Hall to enquire about terms and conditions and discovered that DBB plus two rounds of golf, costs £109/person from April-Sept. However the price per person drops to £89 in October. There is a single room supplement of £25. With this in mind he intends to make a booking for either the first or second week in October. Will all members contact Brains ASAP if they intend to attend.

There being no further business, the meeting closed amicably at 1.37pm.
