Results

The more than able Stand In Competition Secretary announced the results with a flourish, reminding all present of the new handicap change regime!

Two twos today, Johnnie at the 8^th, and Johnnie again at the 14^th,

he pocketed £2.60.

Duffer of The Day was Captain Geezer with 18 points, he gets a 20% handicap uplift.

Runner Up with 39 points was Rabbi, he gets £4 and a 15% handicap reduction.

However, the winner and recipient of the Bob Hallatt Memorial Trophy was Brains with 40 points. He pocketed £9 and a 20% handicap reduction.

The trophy was duly presented by The Chairman.

The Levy raised £13, after much consternation as many MOHGS seem to have forgotten the AGM motion raising the levy to £1 per player.

Geezer Cards raised £3.40.

Swears £3.00

Toasts

Toast was offered to Captain Geezer for his spectacular 200-yard straight drive last Saturday for his drive in.

Geezer thanked those MOHGS who turned out to support him.

Previous Meeting’s Minutes

Accepted as a true record.

Matters Arising

There were no matters arising.

 Any Other Business

Thanks were offered to The Chairman for organising last weekend away night at Slaley.

He did say that we would probably not return, however he was looking at an Autumn sojourn, staying in Berwick at the Premier Inn, golf at Eyemouth and Magdalene Fields. Possibly the last weekend in October.

There being no further business, the Chair closed the meeting at 12.55.
