The Cardinal agreed to Chair the meeting due to the absence of the Straggler.

RESULTS: No 2’s were posted. The D’soD were the Scuttler and Cardinal with 25 points apiece. DDoD was Brains with 26 points. Kwok was runner up with 34 points. The worthy winner with a formidable 39 points and champine of the day was Wellen. H/caps will be adjusted accordingly.

FINANCE: The swears pot totalled £4.60. The contributions to each of the kitties was closely monitored by the ever vigilant Geezer, to ensure there was no repeat of last week, when the 2’s kitty was in deficit to the tune of 60p. There was much concern about the whereabouts of the Straggler, since he appears to have absconded with the the cash, allocated from the swears tin, for the aborted trip to Foxton!!!

TOASTS: To Shotgun wishing him a speedy recovery after his forthcoming surgery.
To Tyrell Hatton who won the Turkish Open on the 4th playoff hole under floodlights.
To the England cricket team.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

MATTERS ARISING:
Winscales confirmed that he is continuing to pursue his enquiries about a trip to a golf tournament in the new year, possibly in April. He is looking for suggestions from the members and will report back when he has some more concrete proposals.
* Wellen had spoken to the head green keeper during his round and he had praised the MOHGS for carrying bags and not using motorised trolleys.

CHRISTMAS PARTY: The Hon. Fin. Sec. has contacted the club caterers and determined that the menu for the party will be a choice between Chilli and rice/chips or curry and rice/chips. The food will be paid for from the swears tin. The party will take place in the clubhouse on Monday 9 Dec., after a round of golf using only 3 club plus a putter. The competition will be for the Christmas Shield which is at present in the safekeeping of the present holder, Brains. The party will take place even if the weather is inclement and the golf has to be cancelled. Christmas attire is not obligatory but extra portions of chips/rice may be awarded to those making an effort. The Hon. Fin. Sec. needs to know the number of participants next week so that he can place an order with the caterers.

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