They are attached to the clubhouse which is really convenient. Really is a top class set up.
Cheap trip away if anybody fancies it......

I'd happily start to build another 8 to take you guys onWhere are these flats you speak of, at the course? If so can we not pitch a couple of large tents outside them?
There must be a small cheap hotel or B&B close by Fish

I'll start doing some research
There's a cheap(ish) place here Fish. Not far from the golf club. I am sure Gainsborough would do a deal on green fees.

I've stayed in this hotel in Gainsborough, possibly not the cheapest but a reasonable standard and did a good breakfast:

would you take day visitors?
Gainsborough is close by for me, if you want me to find a few reasonable places for you, just say.

I'd have no problem with any "day visitors" joining my 8 to take these reprobates on
Obviously be nice if you stayed out 1 night for the craic and didn't just bugger off straight afterwards, but it does makes it a bit easier accommodation wise also OK, looking to build some names up now for the "additional 8". Once I have a firm 8 interested with some reserves, I will approach the club for some rates using the "original 8" as leverage and see if we can find somewhere close to stay together.
Please state your interest.

Lincoln is only a 25 minute drive from Gainsborough GC and has Mucho reasonable accommodation. Plenty of fine eateries and hostelries as well.
Could you also count me in for this one please Fish, I would also be a day visitor, but would most certainly be around for both evenings also

I'll get the numbers first of who's travelling daily and who's stopping over then find somewhere suitable, personally I'd want to be as close as possible not a 25 minute taxi drive away.

that's why I offered to look for accommodation for you,
Gainsborough, whether ping are based there or not, does not make the ideal tourist venue. Its not Lapland.

I'm quite interested but can't commit at the moment, but I'd have thought it would be best to be based as close as possible to the group staying at the course so no one has a long trip after sharing a few drinks.
I've found a couple of places plus the ones already put forward but I'll wait until I have firm numbers of how many will be staying first before I contact them.

I would be up for playing but not stopping over as I only live 20 mins away. I can get the misses to pick me up after a few beers. I am sure she will be pleased!!! 
This is starting to looking like quite a strong team

As mentioned in PM Rob....
I have been in touch with the club and they have reserved two additional tee times each day to allow 16 of us to tee off. That's one round on Sunday afternoon, two rounds on Monday and one on Tuesday morning.
They have put together a "golf and food" package for you.....the four rounds of golf followed by a three course evening meal on the Sunday and Monday nights to save you having to disappear quickly to try to find somewhere to eat. The food at the club was really, really good. This will just require you finding something to eat on Monday and Tuesday mornings but the club do have a restaurant there so you could eat there if absolutely necessary.
They are charging £125.00 per person, not bad all things considered.
As I mentioned, I may well have two people interested in joining you, ALan Bannister and Greg Lindley. They both came to Gainsborough the 1st year we went but due to commitments elsewhere couldn't make the trip this year. They have asked to come next year but I have already told them that first dibs were given to the lads that came this year so they have missed out. But I will only ask them once you have exhausted all efforts to get forum members involved.

Sounds top draw to me Rob :thup:
So, we have the details now, 4 x rounds of golf (Sunday 17th PM / Monday 18th AM & PM / Tuesday 19th AM), 2 x 3-course evening meals for £125.00, those of us stopping over will only have a B&B on top of that but I'll only start enquiring about prices on that once I have the number of overnighters so I can negotiate and more-so, ensure were all together.
So, can we get these places filled now ASAP with a couple of reserves and don't forget, if your local, you don't have to stop/sleep over but sitting down with us all for the meal on Sunday & Monday will be expected.
