It's great to have regular annual events that many can easily get to & are great fun. This is one of them, however it seems that Forest Pines is not playing fair with Rob regarding a refund from our canceled event.
Should we be even thinking of going there next year whilst they are messing Rob about?
Perhaps Belton Woods would be a better venue especially as they have much better customer relations. Thoughts please?

 

[SteveW86]

I would probably attend the meet no matter where it is held.

Whats the latest on the refund, the last message from Rob in the other group said the money should be back with him in 2 days. Have we had confirmation that that has or hasnt happened?

 

[slowhand]

I’m happy to play other courses, as long as it’s in good nick and the accommodation is decent. It’s the camaraderie and friendly competition that make the weekend for me

If you don’t want to come, don’t!

Simply start your own thread for a meet at Belton Woods, which you’ve now tried to promote twice, so, my thoughts are, either put your name down as others are doing for next year or stay off this thread and stop trying to scupper something that everyone else seems ok with.

We all know the situation, these are unprecedented times, I’m sure we all know we’ll get our monies returned, but it’s a good venue and I for one wouldn’t want to have it anywhere else.

Dando is now heading this, your constant moaning without your name even down is just creating a negative vibe that’s not needed.

So to coin a phrase, put up or shut up.

Hahaha...... I'll think about this for a bit.... hahaha

We don't know & we don't really want to be bothering Rob too much as I think if there was action, Rob would have let us know. Hence my post as I've 5 other guys from my Club that I've encouraged to attend & fill spaces to get us up to the 48 Rob needed. I think we all understand that times are tough but FP are not being honest with Rob. That bothers me.

I wasn’t suggesting asking Rob, was just checking that the info posted in the other thread was the latest. There are people on here who know Rob a lot better than I do, so it could have been possible that they had spoken to him socially and it had come up. I do agree that FP have messed him about and that is far from ideal, it took a lot for Rob to agree to organising another year and it is a shame his involvement is ending like this. I am sure we will get our money back, but I’m not in a rush for it and wouldn’t put pressure on Rob to get it back any quicker than he is already trying to do.

Moving ahead though, James has taken on the challenge of keeping the meet going so I would say it is upto him where he wants to hold it. Each meet at FP has been successful, so providing the country is back to “normal” next year I don’t see why it wouldn’t be another success at FP. If people don’t want to return to FP because of this years difficulties then that is their choice. There is no reason there needs to be 48 participants, could easily run with 36 or whatever.

I am just glad the meet will continue and like I said previously I would likely attend wherever it was being held.

Let’s get this back on track, shall we?

James, put me down for a single please! (If I can hitchhike with you up to FP that is ?)

 

[virtuocity]

I really think that FP have let their country down. I would suggest that we move it to Scotland.

more than happy to give you a lift mate

Well done James on taking up the reins from Rob, I hope it goes well for you.
Despite the accusations, I wasn't looking to 'scupper' the Meet as it could just, possibly, switch venue. I'm more concerned at Rob's treatment by FP.
Robin...... that's as good a rant as I've seen since the Kenilworth, HDIDo v GM Meet....... all those years ago...
Take care.... drive carefully.
