Thirteen players this morning, so the Comp. Sec. had little option but to announce another singles comp.

Two Beers assumed the chair and welcomed back to the MOHGS fold our highly esteemed Chairman. However, our esteemed Chairman opted to allow Two Beers to assume the role for today’s meeting.

AOB

The Laird and Crocs had visited Shagpile, he is in good spirits hopefully assisted by the ‘medicine’ delivered from the MOHGS. We all wish him a speedy recovery.

Shagpile did provide dates for the RNLI Golf Day at Newbiggin and the Rotary Charity Day also at Newbiggin. One is on the last Friday in May and the other is on the last Friday in June, who knows which is first!

Dates and competitions to be confirmed later.

Herbie had indeed circulated his spreadsheet.

The meeting closed at 11.30am.
