OK, have spent most of the afternoon on the phone with a guy regarding the proposed Old Farts v Whippersnappers meet next year.
Due to wedding bookings, May/June/July are out for a Saturday overnighter, it's going to have to be mid-week. The only date he could offer us for a Saturday was 14th April, and I don't want to risk a repetition of this years fiasco at Woodhall Spa, weatherwise.
So the deal is this.....
Play one round on the Melbourne course on Wednesday afternoon, followed by a three course evening meal and overnight accommodation. Full English breakfast the following morning followed by a second round of golf on the Palmerston course.
This would be held sometime in June, preferably the Weds prior to our original choice date, which would make that Weds June 26th.
The cost?????
My legendary negotiation skills have secured a price of £144.00 per person. That's only £5.00 more than the price paid for Woodhall Spa for their "Winter" deal, so I think it's a cracking offer.
Places will be limited to 36 in total, but I will be running a reserve list.
To be fair, places will only be allocated to forum members, non forum members will only be invited if we fall short of numbers and need to make the teams up.
This will again be an "Old Farts" v "Whippersnappers" event, and teams will be decided like before on the average age of attendees.
I know that a mid-week meeting won't please everybody what with work etc. but the deal is too good to miss, and I am sure that if you are really keen to make it, arrangements can easily be made this far in advance.
So who's up for it?????
Any other questions, please ask.
