Is there a waiting list? Asking for a friend 
Need to double check dates but I never got round to getting to Cooden first time round on the forum, might as well try and tick it off the bucket list if I can.

I have some bad news.....
Despite emailing the club just after Christmas requesting additional tee times and a possible two tee start, I have only just heard back from them.
They are unable to offer me any additional slots over and above the eight I originally booked, due to it coinciding with their Captains weekend. So I have got to limit the places to 32. This isn't going to be easy, and there is nothing I can do unfortunately.
JustOne is a definite runner, as he has already made arrangements to travel up from Wales and visit us that week.
So that leaves 30 places........

Hi mate - holiday and hotel has been booked at the moment and also giving someone a lift so if you can let us know what’s happening that would be great ?
Rob,
I’ll give up my space for someone.

Rob,
Your the organiser WHATEVER you say/decide is ok with the 3 x of us. (HG, Robin and Guy).
Personally, I think the first 32 on the list are automatically in - if they send you the entry fee. After that you fill slots with reserves in the order they applied.
BUT - I would accept anything, any decision you make with good grace.
Cheers and keep us posted. Don’t sweat it too much, it’s not your fault the club have an event on that day. ?

I think the fairest thing I can do is offer the regular attendees first option and go from there. People like Full Throttle and Fish have played every year despite having to travel miles down from the Midlands.

With having no work for 4 months and waiting for Rishi’s holiday pay to come at some stage I will donate my space to help out. Cheers for the effort though Rob

I'll drop out Rob, small possibility of a job change around that time so it might save dropping out later if it happens

I'm not going to stop regulars coming Phil. And whether Fish is banned or not, he's travelled miles every year to support this meet, and he's never missed out. You think it's fair I should ditch him for a first timer??
I'll forgo my two spots.
Got plenty of forum meets and mini meets so can leave this one for others.

Here we go again.....
I had no idea that I was going to be limited on spots when I booked it, so had no reason at all to state that preferential treatment was going to be given out to "certain forumers" as you put it. And who the hell pays £100.00 in advance for a hotel booking? I've stayed in loads of hotels over the years and have never been asked to pay a deposit, let alone £100.00!! If the money is your problem let me know and we'll have a whip round for you. Everybody else has commented that they'll happily give up their spot, but not the man that could start an argument in a telephone box. Why was Fish banned? Why did I leave a WhatsApp group that I was invited to join? Spot the common denominator?? Fish will be welcomed with open arms. You? Do one, you melt.

By the way. I've just checked all the decent hotels around here. I can book a room in any of them with no deposit, even the most expensive one. Funny that. And after organising meets for years on here, I know the hardest part of all is getting people to part with money. Yet Liverpool Phil has booked and paid for his hotel four months in advance. Wow, you're special, you really are.

Quite often when booking hotels there are different prices depending on the cancellation conditions. Usually more expensive if you go for a full refund option.

Am I allowed to comment as a non attending forum member?
I think it's wrong to criticise Smiffy for the change in the plans. It's not his fault the club have only advised him on the strict numbers. Organising things like this are fraught with bumps designed to trip the organiser up. Perhaps instead of criticising, how about you organise it yourself next time.

Hi Rob, thanks for all your work, but if Fish is going to be playing. Then I'll have to withdraw, it could mar what is a lovely day out for others. We have had a few spats at recent meets.

Rob, I've not booked anything hotel wise, currently can't hit a cow's backside with a stringed musical instrument and haven't as yet renewed my membership. I'll stand down, no problem mate, you're probably doing me a favour. Hope it all sorts itself out. Take care mate.
