Matters Arising

Johnnie highlighted Friday’s MND golf day at Bedlington. He will e-mail final details, but the tee times are around 10.20 and bacon butties are available before the game. Suggested meeting up at 9.15.

Still looking for more players at Bedlington, any MOHG who can make it please contact Johnnie.

Any Other Business

Herbie’s observations on the course:

Johnnie was past the flag on the 3^rd hole with his second shot! Unfortunately, it was the junior flag about 150 yards from the tee!

At the 16^th Johnnie had a cigar moment in the bunker to the left of the green.

Herbie also wanted to claim for Johnnie the honour of being the first MOHG in the new bunker on the 18^th.

However, The Cardinal had beaten him to it!

There being no further business, the Chair closed the meeting at 12.48 pm.
