How to Host a meeting

And we thought it was all over, IKEA, that is. Like a lightning bolt hitting the Bippers, no one saw it coming and when it hit, it hit hard. You could feel the universal groan in the room. It was magic, the upside is we were given the option to choose our own team mates and what a team. Every one of us in good form and happy to help and listen to the various views of one another, it doesn't get much better than that. No "El Ducie" on board here, just team members with good common sense spread amongst the whole of the group, with someone taking a lead here and another taking the lead there. Things are looking good.

Those of you who keep in touch with the world via the amazing twitter will know that the male members of team Compas, had a team meeting on the 200 acre parkland's known as Millicent G&CC and to be honest it was a tough meeting as the wind was blowing like a gale. But what a great way to get to know people, walking the fairways of the golf course and having one of those long forgotten skills that mean so much, a good conversation, the golf course is the perfect place to do it. We covered the finer aspects of the team task and how we would be moving forward with all of the various aspects of the team task. This is by no means done and dusted, as we will be meeting with the ladies of the group to confirm our discussions and listen to their opinions and comments, will speak with you both on Monday, Caroline and Otterly.

But back to the important stuff..........The golf, well the wind was as I mentioned earlier blowing a gale, but men being men it didn't deter us, the sun was shining and the lads were smiling. It was a mixed bag of a day with some cracking drives and some not so good. Andrew for a fella who hasn't played in years was striking the ball like a pro, just a shame about the direction, all the same a beautiful ball striker. Paul was hitting the ball for ever and blended with a good short game it was a great mix. Unfortunately they were no match for team Seve and Mike, who managed to scrape the win, but we all won today, good company, good golf and a good day had by all. On a final note, the best putt of the day was by Andrew on the par 3 15th, down the hill and into the center of the cup, a great putt. talk about the good and the bad, the worst putt was again by Andrew on the 18th par 5, down the hill. You guessed it, as the "Bay City Rollers" sang, Bye, Bye baby, Baby, Bye, Bye down the hill past the hole and ended up further away then it started. Some days are great. This was one of them.
