PRESENT: P.L, P.B, J.G(1), J.G(2), P.F, M.M, B.R, T.M, C.M, M.S, D.G-M, L.W.

APOLS: The Laird, Wellen, Bumpers, Ming, Scuttler. Monty is unavailable for the next 2 weeks.

2Beers kindly offered to Chair the meeting although he was intermittently interrupted by his persistent granddaughter who was desperate to phone her grandfather.

RESULTS: There were no 2’s therefore £2.40 is carried forward which means that the next member who nets a 2 may be in line for a whopping payout of £10.60 plus the day’s takings. The day’s results were delivered by Brains who was standing in for the lucky old Laird who is at present on holiday. The game was the best two scores from four off full MOHGS h/cap. D’soD were the unfortunate Kwok, Shagpile, Johnnie and Emperor with a measly 75 points. The winners and champines of the day were the Cardinal, Crocs, Geezer and Monty with a staggering 84 points. Handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

LAST WEEK’S MINUTES WERE UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: The Cardinal confessed that he had been unable to contact Eaglescliff but assured the group that he is on the case.

TOASTS: To all MOHGS who appeared in the frame for last week’s Seniors, taking first and third place.

To the Italian RU team who beat Wales and in so doing halted a losing streak stretching back to 36 games.

AOB: The members were reminded that next week is the AGM. It was thought that there was once a trophy called the AGM Bell which members played for prior to the meeting. If anyone has news of the whereabouts of the trophy please inform the members asap.

# Brains thanked everyone who responded to his request for h/cap information. He assured the group that he would publish all the new handicaps in the near future.

€ The Cardinal revealed that £2.40 was collected in a one off contribution in place of Geezer cards. £3.30 was collected as a result of swears.

There being no further business, the meeting closed amicably at 1pm.

Burt.
