Sixteen members turned up for the competition, therefore the game was played in groups of 4 with the best two scores counting.

The Geezer agreed to Chair the meeting and Shotgun was persuaded to reveal the results. It was good to see the Laird in a non official capacity, attend the meeting after undergoing surgery on his hand last week

RESULTS: Only one 2 carded by Monty on the 14th. The D’soD with a paltry 80 points were the Cardinal, the Rabbi, Herbie and the President. Today’s champs were Ming, Kwok, the Prof and 2Beer, each of whom will be deducted one shot.

FINANCE: £5.10 in swears and £3.40 in Geezers cards.

TOASTS: To 2Beers who became a grandfather to baby Florence Rose.

To the victorious England cricket team.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

MATTERS ARISING:
Herbie announced that the pairings for the Dirty Dozen game will be revealed shortly. The participants were asked to muster at 9.15 on 3 June. Bacon sarnies can be preordered by contacting 2Beers.

BUSINESS:
*The President was keen to announce that this year’s Soapy day will be on 10 June. He will place £85 behind the bar for drinks and revealed that entertainment will also be provided. The competition for Soapy’s Dish will be played for with only 4 clubs and a putter.
*The President further announced that the outing to St. Boswells golf course on the banks of the mighty Tweed will be on 14 June. The entire Executive will be present but other members, even those without portfolio are warmly invited to attend. The course is only 9 holes, to be played twice. Food may be available depending on the number of members who attend.
*Crocs agreed to arrange a game at the City G.C on June 3 since Morpeth G.C is host to the Seniors Open. Those who wish to attend are urged to contact Crocs asap.
*The Geezer proposed that in future it should be possible to pledge £1 at the beginning of a round on Mondays and then swear with impunity and gay abandon throughout the round. The proposal was passed unanimously and will no doubt help to swell the coffers.
There being no further business, the meeting closed in good spirits at 12.57.
