Singles competition today, Crocs was left a little stranded after his locker keys were misplaced after the Christmas Party, he did however manage to access the locker in time to join the final four ball.

The Rabbi agreed to Chair the meeting with his usual modesty and aplomb.

Competition Results;

One two today, posted by the Cardinal. His first of the year apparently due to putting woes! £1.80 greatly accepted.

Duffer of the Day was Two Beers with only 24 points.

Deputy Duffer was Crocs (understandably) with 25 points.

Runner Up was Scuttler with a remarkable return to form with 37 points

Winner was Brains with an amazing 44 points.

Scuttler pocketed £3 and Brains the remainder.

Handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

Swears gleaned £4.40

Toasts

Ben Stokes for the SPOTY award.

Last week’s minutes were accepted.

It was stated that the party last week was most enjoyable. Food was more than acceptable and thanks were extended to The Cardinal for organising. Also thanks to the Financial Director for acumen in paying for the food out of ill-gotten gains. The total cost was £130 including £10 tip to keep the staff on our side for the coming weeks. He did report that there was still a significant sum in the pot!

AOB

Concern was expressed for Bumpers health after he had to leave the course this morning in poor fettle. There followed a suggestion that at least one mobile phone should be on the course with MOHGS on a Monday morning should any emergency arise. This was greeted as a very good suggestion. After all we are all ageing!

Could those who are playing next week please pass results to Brains.

Apologies for next week from Brains, Cardinal, El Mat. (I think) and maybe more.

Meeting closed at 1.15pm

Footnote

The cardinal contacted Bumpers on Monday afternoon and found him in much better health and spirits.

Happy Christmas to you all and a successful New Year,s golf for 2020 from The Cardinal.
