TOASTS: A belated toast was proposed by the Chair to the Laird (kerching) and his team who won the Seniors Comp. 2 weeks ago but were overlooked at the time.

To Kwok, Brains, Crocs and the Scuttler who won last week’s Seniors.

To Paul Casey who won the Valspar Trophy for the second year running.

To the Falcons who won again last week but are still not out of the woods by a long chalk.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

MATTERS ARISING:

Shagpile revealed that he now has 8 players signed up for the Newbiggin Charity event.

BUSINESS:

* Brains was concerned that several members have not responded to the appeal to reveal their Summer h/caps, because the new h/caps will be operative from 1st April. Please inform the Laird asap, if you are a member of the tardy bunch.

* The Chairmans Quaich will be contested on 8 April. It will take the form of a Singles Comp played off the white tees. On the day of the Comp, members are requested to arrive promptly, since the draw will be made before 8.30 in this instance, in order that the games can begin as early as possible to avoid inconvenience to other club members. MOHGS are requested to wear the appropriate uniform on this august occasion.

* Shagpile apologised for his absence for the next 2 weeks.

There being no further business, the meeting closed amicably at 12.40.

BURT KWOK.
