Crocs had lost track of the Trophies, The Laird will check his AGM report to confirm the current holders.

The Laird reminded everyone that we revert to normal start times next Monday. Balls in the bag at 8.15am

Herbie’s observation from the course revolved around worms! Hundreds were in evidence on the first green approach. His Team speculated on the collective noun for worms and came up with a wriggle of worms. All very interesting until it was pointed out that the worms were dead so couldn’t wiggle!

Apparently the collective noun for worms is a ‘clew’, not clear if this is also for dead worms.

On that note, the meeting closed at 12.50.
