MATTERS ARISING: Shotgun reported that he and the Chair were intent on approaching the club manager to voice their concerns about the poor state of the course. However he discovered that Alex Tate was also intent on approaching the manager on behalf of the Seniors, to voice similar concern and to invite him to the next Seniors committee meeting to acknowledge the poor state of the course and its lack of preparation. Alex, it was reported would speak on behalf of the Seniors, the ladies committee and the MOHGS. Shotgun awaits information on the results of the discussion.

HUNLEY: Brains reported that the arrangements were going well. All monies had been paid and the rooms had been allocated. Bob Hallet and Geoff Ainsley have hired a buggy which they will share for the weekend.

Due to the game at Hunley, members should be aware that there will very few if any people available to play at Morpeth on Monday 15 October.

DIRTY DOZEN: The match v the DD on Oct 1, is now in doubt after a straw poll revealed that many members are unavailable on that day. There will be further discussion next week. Meanwhile it is hoped that the DD will be patient and keep their powder dry until a mutually convenient date can be found.

Soapy apologised for his absence for the next three weeks whilst he is on holiday in Oz.
There being no other business, the meeting closed at 1.30.
