Would be nice to have something within reasonable travelling distance to Scotland. Meets have been quiet north of the border over the past few years.

I wish anyone who volunteers to organise this the best of luck.

Afternoon Mark
the forum has had lots of meets over the years at various levels
King of Kings - a local meet at various areas was arranged by forumers - south , south west, midlands , north , Scotland and then the winners all went to one place to find an overall winner.
H4H - each year Richart and his helpers arrange one day at a course around Surrey, Hants etc - added onto that day there is sometimes smaller meets either side - the H4H day normally has around 100
Smaller meets include various trips that have been organised by LQ
Scotland North East , Turnberry etc , Kent Links trip , The Hebrides and a couple of trips to Sunningdale
Each year there is a “Old vs Young” at Forest Pines
Then amongst all that there is the odd one day or sometimes two day where 20/30 go and play a course - ie Woking and New Zealand GC or Cooden Beach
We have also in the past had days out at Woburn etc

128 at Sunningdale last year.
How did you get that many on at Sunningdale and, out of interest, how much was it?

...and there are no Scottish ones, apart from the ones in Scotland!
Unless the SNP de-annexed (is that a word?) Turnberry and Aberdeen due to links to Trump?? (and this October's)

200 say they will, to see their name on a list.
140 will still say they will when you ask for money.
90 will actually send you money.
70-80 will actually play by the time it gets to it.
We had about 30 odd when we got a good deal at Alwoodley, may have been about 2015.

In the old days, GM organised a couple of meets. Very first one was at the Belfry over 2 days, PGA National then Brabazon. That must be 10 years or more ago now though. After that there was the GM arranged meet at Hillside, a cracking night before and day at Hillside that was. After that, the forum members took over arranging meets with GM involved in of them (HFH especially). Then there was the Centenary event organised by GM, various regional qualifying rounds and a final for the winners of each one.

We played as 8 balls
We got that many as we had 66 the time before.
I think we will do Sunningdale again soon and I suspect we will get 128 again.

The amount that stick there name down from the start to who actually goes is eyewatering.

Soon? Soon as in summer of 2022 at the earliest soon I hope. I need to plant a few more money trees otherwise! And now you've also awoken the devil in me regarding Lofoten.
Bread and water on the menu from now on.

How many did we have at Castle Stuart, but then again that was back in 2010.

Hi Mark.... Since moving to Wike GC & getting involved with the forum in 2012 I've attended Forum-meets all over the UK but, of late, have decided to, generally, stay much nearer home. Other than those organized by the NW guys there have been few North-of-England meets.... in the past, there's not been that many 'North-of-Englanders' active on the Forum though, of late, there's a few more getting involved.
About 7 or 8 years ago I created this 'Trophy' lol...... & initiated the Yarkshire V NE matches played at Wike, Alwoodley, Wynyard & Cleveland GC with some 20 to 30 participants. It was a real fun meet with lots of 'Plastic' Georgies & Tykes who happily traveled for the craic.
It's 3-1 to the NE but Yorkshire currently holds it. Has not been played for some 4 years or so but could be resurrected if needed though a 'good' course like Moortown/Ganton wouldn't need further attraction...... they'd come from all over. I'd guess that an, in season weekend of these 2 would attract some 40 or 50 folk. As someone has already said... "For a good deal on a good course folk will travel far"...... good luck as this area needs another good meet.
