The Chair announced that Delboy was retiring from the rag trade therefore we will be obliged to seek an alternative source for future mufti. Delboy was thanked for his past endeavours and wished a happy and fulfilled retirement.

RESULTS: Delivered by the indefatigable Laird. Only one 2 recorded by the Geezer on the 14th, which entitles him to the whole pot £2.60. DoD was the unfortunate Laird with a miserable 23 points and a 2 shot lift. DD’soD were the Straggler and Crocs with 25 points apiece and a one shot lift. Joint runners up with 36 points were the Rabbi and Brains, who win £2 each and are docked one shot. Today’s winner with a magnificent 38 points was Kwok, who scoops £9 and receives a 2 shot deduction.

TOASTS: To Burt K who becomes the first MOHG to become a great grandfather after the birth of baby Elijah Thomas.

To the resourceful Scuttler who was crowned employee of the month after his successful organisation and delivery of the Newbiggin away day.

To the Danish doctor whose prompt response saved the life of Christian Eriksen.

To the Rabbi, Johnnie and El Mat who were all in the frame in last week’s Seniors Comp.

To the England football team following their 1-0 win in the opening Euro fixture.

BIGGLES REPORT: The Rabbi gave an update on the progress of Biggles who is now able to stand with the use of a frame. He is taking an interest in the Euro Football Comp and is enjoying answering multi choice questions on his iPad. The Chair asked the Rabbi to pass on our best wishes.

AOB:

# The Laird reported that the Board will meet shortly and hopefully reach a decision on MOHGS tee times on Mondays. The current regime will continue until we are informed differently.

# The Geezer proposed that the MOHGS, as a goodwill gesture, approach the management for divot bags in order to fill in holes as we play our round on Mondays. He agreed to make this suggestion to the manager.

# Crocs was concerned that there had been no discussion about the reinstatement of MOHGS competitions or away days. Would it now be possible to consider an overnight stay?

The Christmas Plate(Kwok), the Champions Trophy(the Laird) and the Chairman’s Quaiche(2Beers) are accounted for, but Soapy’s Dish and AGM Bell are missing. The thought was that Soapy himself may have won the Dish and maybe even the Bell. We need Pickles!!! Could Soapy shed some light on this dilemma???

* The Laird is hopeful that the away games v Hobsons and Beamish will take place possibly in August or September. He will make enquiries and report back.

Scotlands Euro game v the Czech Republic was imminent therefore proceedings were wrapped up quickly and the meeting ended in good spirits at 1pm.

B. Kwok.
