Welcome aboard indeed.
Will be great to get some new faces mixed in alongside the old haggered ones we now have - eh Stu
What's that you say? Old, haggard? I'm only 24 mate, it's the Sambuca makes me look 50!
It might still be early days for this, but it certainly sounds promising again - will be great to get more new faces involved as well

I'll keep an eye on this and let you guys know nearer the time if I can make the trip down. Assuming I'm allowed over the border.

So in terms of competitions for the trip, I was thinking about doing the following;
Sunday
1. Yellow ball competition (either pairs, three ball or 4 ball depending on numbers)
2. Longest Drive competition
3. Nearest the Pin competition
4. Sunday winner
5. Sunday runner up
Monday
1. Monday winner
2. Monday runner up
3. Summer Cup Champion (must have played both days to be eligible for this)
The above is based on some additional folk turning up on the Sunday only. If we got some day trippers on the Monday as well - it may just be easier to replicate Sundays trophys/prizes on the Monday?
If everyone is happy with the above and is willing to make it a £10 contribution for prizes, then I can make the above happen :thumb:

In a nutshell, the Gainsborough is ticking me off. With a limit of 8 on site, we need to find accom externally for some or all. The way that they are working pricing, this would result in doubling, or more, the price for those off site, or more likely adding 50% to everyone's bill.
I am pointing out that this is significant, and that we might be prepared to commit everyone to dinner (and therefore bar takings) if they can help us secure some decent value. They are being less than helpful!
I'm not writing them off just yet, but there are a bucket load of golf courses / resorts in the general area, and I have a few irons in the fire:act-up:. As our numbers grow, we are a significant revenue event at the end of September, I am therefore determined that we get a cracking time and cracking value...
will keep everyone posted!

go for it El B - we're not tied to any one course - let me know if you want any help re Forest Pines - I know the Manager and might be able to get us a decent deal?

Ask the Question Crag! On the phone they would not move from 130, which clearly is a long way from 60.
Tapping away!
