Matters Arising

There were no matters arising.

 Any Other Business

Davo had circulated an e-mail proposing to organise an overnighter at Dalmahoy on October 5/6^th. Can everyone let Davo know by responding to the e-mail asap.

Geezer and Rabbi will not be able to attend.

Observations from the course by Herbie, questioned the golfing etiquette of allowing a match play through a non-competition group. He suggested that the Calcutta Match this morning should have bee let through by The Geezers group.

Discussion followed and the upshot was the assembly believed that The Club Captain has priority on the course at all times, so Herbie was appeased.

Captain Geezer wanted the priority to be extended to the bar!

There being no further business, the Chair closed the meeting at 12.35.

Footnote

The Cardinal sends his apologies for next Monday, he will be down south!
