2013 Old Farts v Whippersnappers Venue Poll

[Smiffy]

And just to confirm (from the other thread) that we are talking the week-end of Sat 29th - Sun 30th June (2013!).
Mmmmmmm warm sunshine!

 

[USER1999]

At least itll be warm rain then.

That will do.
And the wind will be warmer too.
A win/win situation
:whoo:

Unfortunately June/July is a no go for me next year so I won't be throwing my name into the hat . I thoroughly enjoyed this years event despite the slight shower we had on Sunday. Wherever you end up it will be one hell of a good laugh - I don't think my eyes have recovered from the sensory overload that was Murph's outfit on Saturday - those who didn't go are fortunate that he was wearing his waterproofs on the photos, and my nasal passages have certainly not recovered from RickG and PieMan's chemical attacks on their snooker opponents.

I know that John Ogaunt is supposed to be a great course but there are a number of restrictions placed on fourball/twoball play, and again at week-ends.
Plus there is no accommodation on site which is a bit of a bummer.

thought it was rather appropriate considering there was a 1940's themed party going on at the hotel, (how Leftie knew about this in advance and dressed for it I'll never know)......

We were just recreating the Mustard Gas in the trenches to make the party more realistic........anyway, i was just trying to neutralise Pieman's efforts with my antidotes.......:thup:

Last year, I thought you were thinking about Turkey for this year :mmm:

I was but the interest faded.
Would love to do Turkey this yr.
If Eng vs Sco doesn't happen, nowt to look fwd to after August.
Another thread maybe called for.

First hiccup....and goes a long way to explain why I was working so far ahead!!
We can't have Brocket Hall on 29th June 2013 as there is a big wedding there, and all of the accommodation is taken up with that!
The guy I have spoken to is working on alternative week-end dates, or is talking about the possibility of going Friday thru Saturday or Sunday thru Monday.
Also, whilst the club don't have a problem hosting a party of our proposed size, the accommodation will be limited to 36 max, so it's likely to be on a "first come, first served" basis with a reserve list running.
Will keep you posted.

I dont mind doing golf only, only a 15 mins drive home anyway

 

[fundy]

golf only be fine for me too, old mans is only 5 mins round the corner

 

[Aztecs27]

I'm sure Rick won't mind putting a load of us up at his gaff! :thup:

Would love to take part but for various reasons long drives and weekends away are not good options for me.

Oxfordshire would therefore be my first choice on a geographical basis although that's not looking too promising on the vote so far. Brockett Hall would be second choice and it does look like a cracking venue on the website - better than the Oxfordshire.

Wonder if more forummers might be able to take part if there was an option to play on one day only in addition to the overnight 36 holer? Although I wouldn't want to make organising it any more complicated than it already is.
