    Which club to join?

    Saunton do a swap day with St Enodoc. No charge, but customary to stay for a meal after. Always very popular.

    New Bargains Thread

    G Fore doing an extra 20% off some items. I bought 2 pairs of shoes last autumn for last money, which were excellent. Got another pair for £66 to sit in the wardrobe for when needed. Too cheap to leave!

    Annual subscription 2026

    Newport lost members to Llanwern last year. There's a significant difference in quality of layout and condition (in my view). The former is £1500pa, the latter £900. If money is tight, £600 a year is not to be sneezed at.

    Golf Random Irritations

    Perranporth, annual subs £813.20. The irritation is how much lower that figure is, than so many other golf courses of lesser interest. ;)

    LIV Golf

    Correct, but not totally. This week's news would be extremely useful to Bryson's Agent in any discussions taking place!:giggle:

    LIV Golf

    I guess if you set up in direct competition with an organisation, using a limitless heap of cash for your own political aims, you shouldn't be surprised if the other side get the hump. ;) LIV targeted the top guys to jump by offering daft amounts of money, I don't see how offering those...

    Private plates

    Older ones did, and Northern Irish ones too, as seen on my car.

    Overnighter.
