Beau Desert Details

[Region3]

I'll try not to junk the forum up with dozens of threads about this, but since I now have details I thought a new one would be better to save people having to read shedloads of pages on the other one to see if they've missed anything.

The day we'd pencilled in on the other thread is no good as there's a top amateur event on the following day so they'll be putting the finishing details on the course.

Thursdays in general also aren't very good as it's when they have their midweek comps, and the only 2 they could offer me were near the Woodhall meet or too early in the month for me.

I hope the new date is ok with everyone.

Date
Tuesday 24th May

Details
Tea/Coffee & bacon roll on arrival
18 holes of golf (5 tee times) from 10:07 to 10:41
Golfers lunch (rolling basis if need be)
18 holes of golf from 15:13 to 15:47
2 course meal, eating together at 8:30pm

Jacket & tie required for the evening meal.

Moolah
The cost of the day is £65 each if we get 20, £70 if less (assuming at least 12)

I've been asked to pay £150 deposit, which obviously wants to be in asap to prevent my 'provisional' booking being lost.

Rather than wait for 20 people to send me £7.50, I'm going to ask for everyone to send me £10 so I can get the deposit paid sooner, unless anyone thinks that's unfair?

The balance doesn't need paying until the day, but I don't really want to be rushing around on the day trying to collect everyone's money so I'll be asking for the balance about a month in advance.

I have to give final numbers 2 weeks before the day, so if everyone is paid up I can be confident that final numbers are spot on and I won't be left with a shortfall bill.

Again, if anyone thinks that's unfair please say so.

.

I've provisionally booked for 20, but I'm sure I'll be able to increase the numbers if I need to, providing it's not left too long before I do.


Please post cheques to :

Also please put your forum name on the back so I know who it's from.

I think that's covered everything, shout if it hasn't

Do you want to share a buggy or have one each?

It's £25 for the day, or £15 per round if your legs can do 18

Quite happy to share the costs for the day with GJ if he is happy with that.
I will send you a deposit for £10.00 within the next day or two Gary, do we pay for the buggy on the day?
Thanks for organising.

do we pay for the buggy on the day

Dunno

I forgot to ask being in such a rush trying to do it in a fag break.

I'll find out.

Can you make sure its moved on the calendar!!!! I'll book the day off tomorrow (if they let me - can't usually book next years leave ahead of time) although we have a big department meeting on Wednesday about redundancies so most golf could be on hold

 

[Region3]

I didn't put it on the calendar purposely because it wasn't concrete, I didn't realise anyone else had.

I'll do it tout de suite

Edit : Moved even before I got to it, that's service!

Do you want cheques payable to you or Beau Desert?

Unfortunately me. I am responsible for making all payments. Gulp!

I don't think they'd appreciate lots of little cheques.

 

[Region3]

Just had an email back from them about handicap certificates, and the answer is that they will be required on the day.

 

[richart]

The new date is my 25th wedding anniversary. Have you got room for one more ?





God i hope HID doesn't see this even in jest.

 

[john0]

Might be the 25th and last!

 

[Whereditgo]

Gary,

How you doing for numbers? I would be a definite if there are still places available?

Pen poised over the cheque book

 

[Region3]

From the interest shown on the other thread I'm hoping to get 20, but you never know what will happen.

First time I've tried organising anything so have no idea what I'm doing... errrr, I mean, what to expect.

Any forum member is more than welcome to send me a deposit cheque whether or not they've said they were coming in the other thread.

If I'm knocked over in the rush I can always ask Beau if we can have more tee times, assuming the 24th May was ok because there's nothing on there on that day.

Obviously the closer we get to it, the less chance there is of being able to add tee times so the sooner the better.

 

[rickg]

Well done Gary...that's a cracking deal mate. I'll send you a cheque this week.

 

[Smiffy]

PM sent Gary

 

[pokerjoke]

Gary im in on that date.Cheque will be sent shortly.

 

[viscount17]

though I was only a maybe for this, it's now no longer even that. major, critical, project on which means I won't be able to do much of anything before the end of June, unless it's a really exceptional, chance-of-a-lifetime, event.

 

[USER1999]

I will send a cheque, although I am still only a probable at this time til I find out when the Mrs wants to holiday next year.

Got a pork pie about to go out of date?
