Becoming Captain

[Papas1982]

So, I'm currently away for captains weekend and it's been announced I'm next (apparently I was made vice at xmas).

Have been informed that we have a budget of £300 per person and needs to be within 1hr of m25.

Anybidy got any suggestions. Will be this time next year.

Also, any ideas for what else I should do other than show up?

£300! Who's paying for that?

Most clubs up here have a Captain's day at their own course.

Captain of what?

 

[selwood90]

Jesus Christ 300quid per person, we have a captains away day but the budget certainly isn't 300 quid per person. Enjoy!

Friday-sunday

2 nights with breakfasts and dinners

My captain has just had his away weekend there. Mixed reviews about the level of service and the conditioning of the courses

Couple of questions - you were made vice-captain and didnt even know? How is that possible?

Second question, how on earth is your club funding an away day at £300 per head? If I was a member I'd be raging at such a flagrant waste of funds, an away day should surely be at member's own expense?

Thought the same! Or is the £300 budget people want to spend on a weekend away?

It's a society, so it wouldn't be from a clubs money. But as has been guessed, there is a cap on what the members are wiling to pay.

This years captain has been ill and missed most meets, and wire's were crossed with him thinking secretary had spoken to me and vice versus.
