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

Really sorry but I'm going to have to give it a miss. Got a weekend away at Rudding park the weekend after and now can't get the time off work due to customers we supply changing holidays.

Hope you all have a good one.

With Lincoln Quaker and Fish pulling out it looks like at least one space is available, two if Gary (Region 3) can't make it now...(he was reserve I think?)

No deposits needed, just commitment.

I'll have a read through the thread on details and what not when I get back home tomorrow from working away.
 
Going to give this a few more weeks to try to sort itself out, but unless we get the 8 extras then I'm likely to pull the plug on the additional places.
I'm sorry if this upsets anyone but I kinda guessed this was going to happen.
We need 16 in total for it to work.
We have the confirmed 8 who went last year staying in the flats.
Is anybody else interested in coming along????

When is it and what is the cost ?

Sunday 17th August to Tuesday 19th.
2 Nights accommodation, 4 rounds of golf and all food (full English Brekkie and 4 course evening meal).
Cost will be around £170.00 all in, but the problem I now have is that Fish was organising the hotel accommodation as 8 are the maximum that can stay at the actual golf club.
With him now pulling out, it puts the extra places in jeopardy as I haven't got the time nowadays to organise things.
 
Those dates are too close to my forthcoming nuptials so wouldn't be able to make it anyway - hope you get it sorted though

Cheers

Thank goodness for that. I would have had to insist on a blanket ban on talking about football.

With you saying such nice things it appears I have had a lucky escape not being able to make it

I asked to go on the reserves because I was fast running out of holidays at work and needed to see how the year panned out.
As it stands at the moment, I'm a no Rob. Sorry.
 
Hate to say it lads, but with Hobbit pulling out, along with Gary saying he can no longer stay on the reserve list, I think it's best if I cancel the extra tee times etc. and just stick with the original plan of the 8 going who went last year.
I'm sorry if this upsets anyone, but not prepared to lose money by booking tee times and food that cannot be taken.

Guys, I'm really sorry about this. Even my H4H place is looking suspect, and I've already booked and paid for the hotel. My boss has said next year will be better - yeah, right. And then tells me I'll be in Austria late July, and China next year...
 
No need to apologise Hobbit. It's not your fault mate.
As I say, I knew this was likely to happen when we tried to increase the numbers anyway mate, it was always pushing it a bit.

Oh dear. Sad news indeed :whistle:

Even sadder news is that my niece has her 40th birthday bash the evening before I drive up to Gainsborough. Wouldn't usually be a problem but as she lives 50 miles away HID has put her foot down with a firm hand and I am not going to be "allowed" to do both. :mad:

Sorry Mandy but I'm having to miss your celebrations. :o:o

So that's now 3 of us LIG :thup:

BTW guys (who are going), apart from Smiffy, Ray, JustOne, and LIG, are any of you 3 others real ale lovers? If so, I'll bring some. If not, red plonk it is. :cheers:


Don't forget the cards and crib board.

Roger, I'm a real ale man. I'm on the CAMRA committee for Fenland. Bring some ale, I'll augment that and bring a good Single Malt as well. Cards packed but i still don't have a crib board.

Looking forward to it.
