D’soD were the Cardinal and Shotgun with 42 points. Runners up were Kwok and Shagpile with 51 points. The joint winners were Soapy and Johnnie and Brains and Monty with 52 points apiece. Winners will be pulled by one shot and losers will gain a shot.

NO TOASTS WERE OFFERED.

MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING WERE ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
BUSINESS:

* The latest episode of the ongoing saga of will he or won’t he go to Foxton was resolved, when the Chair announced that he WILL now attend the forthcoming trip, after being sweet talked by the silver tongued Laird. However it was expected that the event may be cancelled due to the threats imposed by Coronavirus.

* The Cardinal informed the group that the plans for the Blyth trip were progressing well and that he would enquire about whether or not trolleys were allowed on the course.

* The Chair has been informed that orders for polo shirts and sweaters can only be placed in batches of 12 or more. He is therefore unable to place an order until more members require extra mufti.

The meeting closed at 12.32.

Kwok.

P.s Since the meeting, we are now aware that the Govt has announced new guidelines for the over 70’s urging self isolation in order to slow the spread of Coronavirus. This will obviously impact a huge percentage of the membership. These guidelines come into effect this coming weekend therefore the Blyth game could still be a goer but what about the regular Monday meets or the Senior Comps? It could well be that we may have to mothball the golfing gear for the next 3 months. No doubt we will be informed by the GC about their response to Govt initiatives.

Look forward to observations by other MOHGS. In the meantime keep washing your hands and stay safe.
