Why not have 3 or 4 different meets all on the same day. That will get as many people as possible getting a game.
If you only have one, there will be loads who can't/won't be able to travel.
So, say one in Scotland, Midlands, South east, South west and finally one in Ireland.
Much easier logistically for booking tee times and accomodation etc.

Interesting....
Month, May or June
2 day event Thur/Fri - better rates possibly as avoiding weekends ;-)
£225
Venue...... well central would be nice. Since central is roughly around the north end of Leicestershire/bottom end of Derbyshire, that's still a 5 hour drive from the central belt !
Find a venue Mike and well see what we can do. You managed to fill 60 berths at Castle Stuart last year, so there's your challenge ;-)

May or June time would probably be best as it avoids peoples family holidays mostly and a 2 day event somewhere centralish with 2 courses and accommodation for either 1 or 2 nights.
All that for somewhere less than £250 would be perfect

Oh aye, that's nice and central. Why not just have it on the Isle of Wight??

If it's a mega meet, gotta be two days min. Like the CS meet, if some want to make a week of it they can book up with plenty of notice.
venue, needs to be somewhere special preferably with two tracks.
price? who cares

Fulford & Forest Pines are good suggestions, both good Courses with good Hotels close, and very Central for all.
Or, could we get a Deal at Oulton Hall, Leeds ? Thats not bad.
I wouldnt go all the way to Scotland, despite its humongous choice of courses, just too far and too variable weatherwise.

surely if a Scottish based golf magazine has already promoted itself, by giving a FREE round of golf on one of the best courses in the UK. then i think GOLF MONTHLY which must have a larger following. should be able to book this course and CHARGE us for it. then i vote for Ayrshire and before our neighbours down south say anything. "Turnberry" so come on Mike you have a year to get it. nuf said

Pretty much anywhere is good for me, though I wouldn't really be up for going more than 6 hrs drive or so, so the border would be pretty much the limit. Two days would be good, midweek is fine, given enough notice. Accommodation included and as everyone else seems to be suggesting about £200 max (preferably Dinner, Bed and Breakfast, but that might be pushing it if we want a good place?)

All I need is notice to take time off, sweet talk the missus, plan how to get there and save up. I'm in!
WOuld prefer England as the logistics for a lot of us based too far south is a nightmare and adds a day on either side. I'd be happy with Midlands, Lancs etc but I guess until a venue is sorted I'm fairly ambivalent. Cost wouldn't be too much of an issue as there is plenty of time to tuck £20 per month away. When shouldn't be a factor either with flexi time and annual leave. Fix a place and a date and I'll let you know

It's going to be a long trek gor some no matter where it is. North Midlands is probably the place. 2 days sounds good and there's time to save up and plan. Love to do it.
I think Thursday/Friday would keep the cost down but with enough time anything's possible

1 day because some people will not be able to get the extra day due to work, families, etc.
36 or 27 hole competition. 9 in the morning maybe 18 in the afternoon.
A course with 36 or 27 holes to manage as many people as possible.
Pick a course in the midlands area perhaps so to make it reasonably central to most people. South East would be great for me but not that great for folks living in Scotland and the North.
Weekday is preferable.
£80 maximum (does not include any accomodation).
July/August/Sept time.
