PRESENT: P.L(l/e), D.F, P.F, T.H(l/e), T.M, C.C(l/e), B.Y(l/e), M.C(l/e), C.M(l/e), K.S, C.D(l/e), A.B-W, M.S(Suds).

The President agreed to Chair the meeting.

The Rabbi was commended for his production, including lamination and replenishment, collection and redistribution of the Geezers cards.

The Presidents son, Suds, was a welcome participant in today’s contest.

RESULTS: Only one 2 today posted by Bumpers, who only played in the one team this week. The 2’s kitty it was discovered was light by 60p but unfortunately many competitors left early so it was difficult to identify the shysters. DoD was Crocs with a derisory 28 points. Soapy was closely behind as DDoD with a slightly better 29 points. Joint runners up were the Laird(k/ching) and the Prof with 41 points apiece. The winner this week with a magnificent 43 points was the popular and affable Shotgun.

The Presidents group arrived back in the clubhouse over an hour behind the first group and apologised for their tardiness but in mitigation admitted that they were obliged to allow several smaller groups to play through as a matter of etiquette in order to preserve the good name of the MOHGS.

FINANCE: Geezers Cards—-£3.60. Swears—-£5.00. In the safekeeping of the Laird.

TOASTS: To Portsmouth who won the EFL Trophy by beating Sunderland.
To Stephen Gallagher who won the Indian Open.
To G-mac who won the Dominican Republic Comp.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: It was erroneously reported last week that Bumpers had played in two separate teams. Obviously this was not possible and will go down as a typo with apologies from the scribe.
* The Secretary noted that whilst taking a stroll around leafy Bedlington on Saturday, a sign outside the Northumberland Arms, advertised a live performance by Shagpile. Could it be that the crafty old codger has discovered penchant for song and dance to augment his meagre pension?
* Members were reminded that next week is the Chairman’s Quaich Challenge, played off the white tees. Would the present holder please remember to return the trophy.

There being no further business, the meeting closed amicably at 1.20pm.
