Competition Results.

The Laird was very complimentary to those who marked the score cards. Only a small reprimand for Ming who had omitted the points score from the box on the score card.

Matters Arising

Two Beers had arranged a night away at Slayley Hall for the last Sunday in March. He had eight names put forward, an additional two were added (Cardinal and Johnnie). He would book rooms for 10 and three tee times.

Herbie congratulated Two Beers for his perseverance in arranging these away nights.

AOB

Card had been received from Margaret thanking the MOHGS for her retirement present.

Observations from the course.

Herbie complemented the Laird for the selection of competition, and also the players for alacrity of play.

Brains was then persuaded to demonstrate his cardio-vascular exercises, at some stage his trousers appeared to be round his knees. (metaphorically speaking)

Ming hoped that the American voters do the right thing in electing the next (47^th) President. The Chair felt that we were in no position to pontificate after our attempts to elect a government!

Christmas arrangements well in hand. Emperor has discussed food with the club, numbers will be taken nearer the date of 16^th December. We hope to tee off at 10am for 11 holes before festive food and games.
