Having lavished copious quantities of abuse upon Dr Aspey in the preceding month, secretary Barnes (aka Suitcase) contrived to arrange February’s meeting in the worst blizzard conditions witnessed this millennium, leading to the cancellation of all golfing activities (well, almost all - see post)

Seeking alternative arrangements, the members, with the notable absence of Mr Barnes, convened at Memories Of India to discuss issues arising which can be fairly summarised as follows:

1. The members in attendance raised a glass of Cobra “to absent friends”

2. The members duly voted Mr Barnes “buffoon of the month”

3. It was noted that Mr Barnes had compounded his other failings by being mysteriously unavailable to attend the meeting, and answer the members concerns regarding his fitness and suitability to act as secretary

4. Mr Barnes was duly sacked as secretary by a unanimous decision of the remaining members

5. Mr Barnes was duly reinstated as secretary for life by a unanimous decision of the remaining members on the basis that no one else wanted the job.

6. Mr Mukherjee told bawdy tales of his days in the Raj, golfing at 14,000 feet

7. Mr Aspey impressed with tales from the furry cup, to the accompanying come-to-bed smile of the attendant waitress

8. There was some discussion concerning whether the failure to play any Last Hoorah golf in February rendered Mr Barnes’ “turn” null and void; it was resolved that Mr Mukherjee should arrange the next meeting, and that Mr Barnes should re-schedule his shout on the next available date.

9. The remaining members retired to Navada Bob’s where Mr Mukherjee played the only golf of the day in the practise room where computer simulations proved conclusively, once and for all, that he can hit a pitching wedge over 200 yards
