2010 GM Spring Meet - 28th May 2010

[HomerJSimpson]

I've had news from Royal Ascot that they can accommodate the 2010 GM Spring Meet (or whatever other name you want it to go under) on Friday May 28th thereby giving a suitable gap for all of those lucky enough to be going to Castle Stuart to book some leave or replenish the kitty

The price will be £60 as per last year (£56 is the society rate + £4 per head towards prizes) and the day will consist of bacon butties and coffee on arrival, 18 holes of golf and a two course dinner and prizes afterwards.

Hopefully the weather will be much better by then and the course will be coming into full summer glory. I know its a long way off and hard for people to make definite plans especially those going to Scotland but it would help if people could at least register an interest so I can let the club know if we want this date

We've already had a huge debate on the name of this event, the fact that its held down south etc

so it'll make my life at least a lot easier if people would only register a yes or no.

Yes Homer would love to play

 

[Redwood]

Mono,

How would you get from Merseyside to down South, and on a school day?

 

[Redwood]

I should be able to make that date Homer

 

[Golfmmad]

Put me down for that please Homer.

Thanks,

Golfmmad.

 

[Timh27]

Would be up for that.

Ideally i would rather have a weekend but not if it is going to skyrocket the cost

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Count me in Homer

Although I would need a fairly early start and may have to miss part of dinner

But then as im looking to shed a few pounds of weight is possibly no bad thing

I won't be able to travel I am afraid.Too much going on golf wise.

Quick question on the cost....£56 is hardly a great deal unless I am missing something here as it is £40 a round if I turned up myself and circa £16 for bacon rolls,coffee and 2 course meal....they dont exactly do a 'book a party and we'll give you a great deal' do they?
Maybe different to up here where we need visitors income possibly?

Good luck with the day!

I fairness to Royal Ascot, £16 for the food is on the slightly on the cheapside for down south for what they are offering....

You would think they would do something on the green fee for the mention in GM and on here.....

539 miles to Machrahanish in March is actually more appealing at the moment than Royal Ascot (from where I could actually walk/stagger home afterwards)

Put me down please Homer.

Hi Homer put me down as a yes.

Phil.

 

[Imurg]

I'm in - can't possibly play worse that last year.

Or can I?

Homer, I would like to but i've got too much on in may money wise so it's a no from me.

Hope it's as successful as the last one mate.

Is the date set in stone Homer?

I'd love to play but don't know if I could get away with it with the GM vs Golf Magic on the next 2 days as well.

would love to play but 2 far away 4 me, being in the north east but every1 who plays hav a good round

 

[HomerJSimpson]

OK we seem to have a problem with a clash of dates with Forest Pines. The club have also offered a midweek date on June 2nd or 9th. How does the 9th sound as an alternative. The only problem I can see is for those coming from further afield. Please let me know if you can do the either the 28th May or 9th June, either both or one or other.

Cheers for your patience guys. Otherwise I'll look at a date perhaps in July (even though we'll still be playing for the GM Spring Meet Shield!) but I've a feeling dates are pretty fully booked most Fridays through the summer after Royal Ascot week

 

[Imurg]

I can do any date around then apart from June 4th.

 

[beck9965]

I'm ok for all dates so count me in.

 

[mono217]

Mono,

I will have finished school.

And homer any date will do me
