Anyone still up for a North West meet?

[evita4]

Following from MWJ and his band of Soutern shandy swillers arranging a meet in Gillingham, I think it is time for the North West meet to gather some pace again. We seem to have a few new forum members in this area so it would be a nice idea to put some faces to user names. Myself and forefortheday are playing pretty regularly and would like to see who else would be interested in joining us. I am willing to organise it when we know who would be interested. These 3 courses are local to me in Preston and so are put forward for consideration. Not looked into it but am fairly sure society rates could be arranged depending on numbers.

I'd be keen.....though it's getting a bit central by the looks of it.

I've got to say....(just for fun, no offence intended!)....it looks like someone's built a massive golf green at the back of my daughter's junior school!!

I might be up for it if it was a little further east, I don't mind travelling but approx 1 1/2 hrs to preston from here.

PMSL, you are right. This particular cpurse has been subjected to a modernist architect for the club house

Count me in if the date fits. I have 2 week hols booked mid August if we can get in somewhere then.I can't make any weekend until 9th August.
I used to be a junior at Fishwick so i can thoroughly
recommend it even though it has been changed around over the years.
Another course to recommend is Standish Court. It is only a short course but dont let this put you off as it is a good challenge.
Arrange a definate date and i can then confirm yes or no.

[forefortheday]

I'm in just let me know what date and I'll be there!

 

[andiritchie]

i also played standish a few times bit short but quite fun place to play when you lot thinking of playing

 

[evita4]

I would hopefully be looking at playing sometime in the latter part of August. Initially we need at least 8 people and then we can decide if we wanted to play 9 in the morning and then 18 in the afternoon with bacon rolls and evening meal thrown in for around £35 - £40. Or if you would prefer just a round of golf we would be looking in the region of £25.

Hi definately up for a game just let us know what date you have in mind

 

[teetime72]

Count me in,anywhere, prefer midweek.

 

[TonyN]

Absolutly,am in, with enough notice!

Please dont make it 31st of august though because i have a charity event.

This gonna be a weekend or weekday? Mon tues or wed would be great but what ever best for everyone.

I vote for the full days golf, 9 then 18!

 

[evita4]

I am looking at making this a midweek event. Need at least 8 for a society rate. So come on guys lets get those names down.

Interested so far:
Big_Russ
Chipsandegg
Forefortheday
Gjbike

Just one firm comittment needed to make up our 8.

 

[RGuk]

If it's midweek.....I could well be twisted.....I'd hate the drive, but I'd be keen to meet the infamous forumers.
Have you decided on a venue?

 

[evita4]

It will definitely be a midweek event and this course looks to be the best

[TonyN]

Fine with me, weekday package number 3 gets my vote!

 

[gjbike]

3 is fine with me, have you got any dates in mind ?

 

[HartleyHare]

I could well be up for this, dependant on the date.
bit dubious though because i'm not exactly Mr consitent yet and i wouldn't want to spoil anyones round while i'm swinging from one side of the fairway to the other!!!!!
