AOB
Peter gave a fascinating breakdown of all the courses we’ve played over the years including 24 times at Porters Park.
Rob suggested that we have an extra summer unofficial meeting at Redbourn with a simple ‘turn up and play’ format and maybe contest the lapsed Mid Summer Trophy.
The meeting closed at 9.45pm
