The Chairman welcomed our esteemed member from Beamish, everyone agreed he was a welcome sight!

Competition Results;

Played from the white tees in a westerly gale by the hardy MOHGS. The Chair decreed five three balls and the scores of two to count.

One two at the 17^th by Dewey, so he scooped the pot.

Duffers of the Day were Monty, Crocs and Two Beers with a score no-one would admit to!

Deputy Duffers were Herbie and Marcus with 61 points.

No runner up as there were two winners.

The teams of Scuttler, Geezer and Johnny together with the team Cardinal, Rabbi and Dewey both had creditable 65 points. All received £2.50 each. Handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

Toasts

The England Cricket team for beating the Indians in an hostile environment in our own country.

Swears raised £6.80, including the Chairman’s fine for inappropriate attire, but Geezers Cards were not in operation.

Previous minutes were agreed.

Matters Arising

Beamish dirty Dozen fixture, Herbie assumed the Captaincy with aplomb. He will e-mail with details and for numbers.

The Scuttler will e-mail re the proposed sojourn to Wall.

The President’s trip to St. Boswells on hold because of his current incapacity.

Shagpile announced the trip to Bedlington for 29 July, the return fixture may have to be on a Tuesday. In which case it would be a pm start because of Ladies tee times at Morpeth.

County Card owners were indicated, a visit would be organised and those that could would. The Terrible Twin Terrys wished it to be known that they were not eligible for County Cards as they were too young!

The Rabbi advised that he was not available to add names on Wednesday 17 July, Two Beers jumped at the chance.
