Apologies for the delay in sending the minutes as t’Internet has been playing up.

PRESENT: T.H, D.G-M, J.G, G.A, D.F, F.B, M.S(n/p), P.F, M.C(l/e), M.M, P.B.

RESULTS: Delivered by the indefatigable Laird for the last and most poignant time before his trip to the Southern Hemisphere. Only one 2 posted by Winscale on the 4th. The lucky old Scouse git picked up a rollover jackpot of £6.20. DoD was the unfortunate Laird with 21 points. DDoD was the Scuttler with 25 points. Shagpile was runner up with 38 points. The joint winners with 39 points apiece were Winscale and Kwok.

FINANCE: £3.80 in swears and £1.50 in mufti fines.

TOASTS: To David (akaLaird) and Janice (aka Mrs Laird) wishing them a happy, holy and peaceful Christmas in the bosom of their family, down under. The Laird will return to these hallowed shores on 20 Jan and would be most appreciative if his name was entered for appropriate competitions on or near that date.

MINUTES OF LAST MEETING ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: The Hon. Fin. Sec., declared that the missing Foxton cash had been duly returned by the errant and tardy Chair. The transaction had by all accounts  been anything but smooth in that the Fin. Sec. was forced to break two of the Chairs fingers whilst attempting to prise the cash from his grasp.

CHRISTMAS PARTY: The Chair was hopeful that all past members of the MOHGS would be open to offers to join the festive fun at the Christmas Party and would personally email them to extend the invitation.
* Currently there are 13 attendees.
* The first tee off will be 10am. Only 3 clubs plus putter allowed in the competition for the Christmas Trophy.
* Food available from 2.30.

BUSINESS: 2Beers will be unavailable for the next 2 weeks to enter names for the
Seniors comps. He further reported that due to the number of names he has to submit, that the position is becoming onerous and he is receiving abuse from other members. Shagpile, the Chair, Winscale and Kwok agreed to enter their own names and ‘ go independent,’ if this would help to ease the situation.

The activities available on the day will include, the Kwok Quiz, Dominoes, Snooker and the annual singalong, with Crocs on his trusty, reconditioned guitar.
