2012 mega forum meet

Castle Stuart Part 2 pleeeeeeeeeeeease!

With enough notice I could do anywhere in the UK/Ireland.

In terms of course I don't care about the "toughness" even though I'm a hacker as it's a chance to knob it round a piece of quality.
 
Given enough notice, I'd be prepared to travel pretty much anywhere, but central Englandshire makes sense for most people attending, I'd suggest. Weekend or weekday makes no odds. £200ish sounds about right, inclusive of an overnight stay. :cool:
 
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere (With enough notice)

2Days minimum.

Would non forum members be welcome, or is there a criteria for attendance (I have some mates/Family might want to come)
 
I'd say a two day event definitely. It would give people the chance to play with some different people off the forum.

I would actually say a Friday and a Saturday.

That way the Sunday would allow people to nurse their sore heads before travelling home on Sunday ready for work on Monday. It would also ensure that people didn't have to shoot straight off after the golf on the last day which would be more sociable.

Having it on a Friday/Saturday might make it a bit easier to get tee times than a full weekend.

Time of year? I'd say May.

Where? Somewhere decent but not too commercial. It's got to be somewhere were we'd all fancy playing. It would probably need to be reasonably central in the country that people from all over the country can get to.
 
I've not done a Forum meet before, so would love to try to.

Weekday preferable for me, but can do weekends too, provided we arent booked already.
1 or 2 days, - I guess 2 days would be a good craic.....
Surely somewhere cental UK is going to best if its a Mega Forum meet with as many users as poss ........I know Scotland has some stunning courses but it could take most of us a day to get there.....

I'll await news..... :cool:
 
Just as a "for instance" somewhere like Fulford could be good.

Great course with a bit of a "name" and history and isn't a "commercial" place.

Close proximity to York, so accommodation is plentiful as are restaurants and nightlife.

The transport links aren't bad either. Mainline East Coast for train. Not far from Leeds/Bradford airport. Not far off the A1 either.

I'm certainly not advocating it as a specific option but as a type of place to go.

Anyway, just a thought. ;)

+1. All sounds eminently sensible to me. :)
 
If it is a big event, has to be summer. April and October are just too risky from a weather point of view. You could have snow or Baltic temperatures in April and hurricanes in October. Also has to be somewhere near populations or very good transport links.

Sadly for the Picts, that probably does suggest somewhere dahn sarf. The Buckinghamshire, The Grove, somewhere like that can handle groups are are good courses. I would consider travelling further afield for something special
 
The possibilities are endless.

Sure I heard you were thinking of Carnoustie as a 'Biggy' meet possibility?

I would think that would be a fine place but it would eat some of the guys alive and so would the night out in Broughty Ferry afterwards.... ;)

Just do me one thing Mike, please don't have it at one of these faceless Marriot Hotel courses that the Centenary events are being held at.

Can vouch for the Ferry of there Satuday night after work for a few swallys
 
I would vote for somewhere in Central Englandish - some options come to mind that appeal to me - 1. Nottingham - Notts/Sherwood Forest; 2. Cheshire - Delamere Forest/ Sandiway; 3. Merseyside/Lans - loads of options and haven't played any; Ganton would persuade me to go further north. Not sure on accomodation. Also, I can't think of many great courses with big hotels attached, so I would rather a great course and organise a nearby hotel option.

I would vote for a 1 or 2 nighter, but a lot of the better courses would not be available on weekends.

Money - as long as it is a good deal relative to what is on offer, I would be happy

Date - May-September. Isn't August a good time to get deals due to holidays?
 
The best month for such an event
The best day (weekday or weekend)
Should it be a 1 or 2 day event?
Location (country, region, type of course)
The maximum you'd be prepared to spend on it
If it were a 2 dayer would you want accommodation included?

Summer
Either weekday or weekend no problems
2 dayer
£200
yep

Ideal location... Forest Pines.
 
I'll be 17 then. There is hope.......

For me would have to be weekend/ college holiday and the cheaper the better.

But the biggest factor to me going...................... my mother :(

Another that thinks this is a good shout.

I'm up for it, enough notice and any day and price (within reason, i am a scot!) are fine with me.
 
As long as it is fair for everybody and central then that's ok. we cannot expect folks to have 5 hour drives as this is off putting for some. Obviously there are going to be extremes such as Scottish and South coast forum members so it's going to be a logistical nightmare as you will never please everyone. Someone's going to have their nose put out, it's inevitable.
