RESULTS: Today’s event was a singles competition. There were no 2’s, therefore £2.60 is carried forward. D’soD were Kwok and the Scuttler with a miserable 24 points apiece. DD’soD were the Rabbi and Johnnie with 29 points apiece. Runner up was the Geezer with a creditable 39 points. The winner and this week’s champine was the indefatigable Brains with a huge total of 41 points.

FINANCE: No Geezer cards but a very healthy £7.30 in swears.

NO TOASTS WERE OFFERED.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

BUSINESS:
*8 members have signed up for the Foxton extravaganza. There was concern in some quarters that the game would be played on a Monday, since it was proposed last week that away days should if possible be played on any day but Monday. It was agreed that as this trip was an overnighter and part of a deal which had been fiercely negotiated by the redoubtable Shagpile, that it should go ahead as planned.
* The Cardinal has secured a deal for a game at Blyth on Friday 20 March, which will cost £10/punter. The true cost has been offset by his generous donation of a 4Ball voucher. Interested parties should email the Cardinal asap.
*The Geezer cards have been noticeable by their absence for the last couple of weeks, which has seriously depleted this important revenue stream. The Chair was aghast and verging on apoplectic when it was revealed that the cards have disappeared off the face of the earth. The Rabbi who was the maker and erstwhile holder of the cards, revealed that he had no knowledge of their current whereabouts and had no idea as to where they might be. The Chair, with his usual eloquence, appealed to the members to search their bags and leave no stone unturned until the cards are discovered and returned.
*The Chair dropped a minor bombshell when he revealed that he had pondered over his current position as head of the organisation and floated the idea that in future a new captain 👩‍✈️ should be elected each year. It was decided that this suggestion should be discussed in depth at the forthcoming AGM.
*The Rabbi apologised for his absence next week.
