Cheap trip away if anybody fancies it......

[Smiffy]

I posted about this earlier this year, and visited in September with a few mates. Really is a fantastically cheap trip...
Gainsborough GC in Lincolnshire. Home of Ping. 2 decent courses. Website will give you more information....
http://www.gainsboroughgc.co.uk/index.php

They have 2 x 2 twin bedded apartments at the course, which are pretty comfortable. Both with tellies and full kitchen facilities.
Looking at the deals they offer, you can get 2 nights accommodation with all food (full English brekkie and evening meal) for the all inclusive price of £150.00 per person.
One round would be on the Sunday afternoon, 2 rounds on Monday and one further round on the Tuesday.
Limited to 8 players, two teams of four (one apartment verus the other seems like a good idea!).
Buggies can be hired for £20.00 for the day.
I am going to phone the club today to find out availability, if possible looking to book it up during June or July....
Anybody interested???

[full_throttle]

how soon do you want the deposit....

I'm IN

 

[Smiffy]

I have provisionally booked Sunday 14th-Tuesday 16th July. These were the only dates available in July, all of August had gone, can't run into September as I'm not allowed to take leave during that month.
Will keep you posted. I had already asked the 3 guys that came with me earlier this year, Ray Taylor has already confirmed he wants to go, Alan Bannister and Greg Lindley have still to let me know.

Looks like you have got 6 definite plus possibly Alan and Greg to make up the 8.

I'd put my name up for this if you could find anyone who is non drinking/smoking/swearing/farting who would want to share a room with an old fart who probably would snore most of the night between trips to the loo.
