The Chairman stunned the meeting by announcing he was to go under the knife a week on Tuesday. Typically, he made light of the hernia repair he was about to undergo.

The meeting was concluded at 12.55.

Competition Secretary offered to take brief notes.

Comp sec announced the results of today’s golf, teams of 3 with 2 to count off 90% of MOGHS handicap. Only 15 holes played today as the competition sec made the decision to curtail the enjoyment of playing in the wet conditions and reduced the punishment mid-round. This was roundly accepted by all.

AOB: Crocs organised a bottle of Whiskey 🥃 ( note spelling, Irish) for John Scurfield ,who left MGC last Friday, on behalf of the MOHGS. John passed on his thanks. In discussions with a number of MOHGS the Emperor compensated Crocs from the MOHGS funds. There was a unanimous vote in favour of this gesture. Thank you Chris.

The Geezer brought up the thorny problem of the 2s pot suggesting:
1. Only players who contributed to the pot each week should be able to win.
The group, although broadly in favour of this, felt that it would require too much admin from someone, especially if there were rollovers.
The Laird counter proposed :
2. No rollover of pot. If not won then money goes to Emperors tin.
Proposal 2 was accepted almost unanimously.

Best wishes were proposed for Brains, Kwouk and Biggles.
