The Chairman was in the Chair.

Seventeen players today exercised the Competition Secretary’s ingenuity and he devised a game of five teams consisting of three or four players. Two scores to count with handicaps adjusted accordingly.

Competition Results;

As the Comp Sec left early, the deputy Comp Sec announced the results.

One two recorded today at the 17^th by Davo, he pockets £3.40

The Cardinal announced it was a thing of beauty! It was unclear if he was referring to the two shots or just his assessment of Davo!

Duffers of the Day were The Laird, Two Beers and Brains with 74 points.

Runners up were Davo, The Cardinal, Herbie and The Emperor with 78 points, getting £1.50 each.

The clear winners with 82 points were Ming, Winker, Scuttler, and Monty pocketing £3 each.

Handicaps will be adjusted in the time honoured manner.

Geezer Cards raised £3.80, Swears £3.60 and the Levey raised £8.50

No Matters Arising

AOB

The Laird left a detailed interpretation of the rules regarding hitting balls on the green. This is lodged with the Scribe who can produce it when required, however the most important ruling is that there is no penalty when MOGHS are at play!!

Bumpers was somewhat put out when he realised that there were seventeen players, he offered to drop out and play with others. He was informed that he would have to pay the levy if he did not play!

The Emperor assured Bumpers that the statement was made in jest but Bumpers was unsure. Since the Competition Secretary was absent it was agreed to revisit the issue next Monday, however the Chair sagely stated that if you don’t play, you don’t pay!

With that he announced the meeting was concluded at 12.55.
