I'm constantly seeing meets for the North West, North East, South East, West but I haven't seen anything (recently) for the Midlands and we cover quite a bit of the country so.....here we go!

Any ideas for a meet early next year please post them in here and we can all have a chat about where & when we fancy playing.

I don't mind organising this and I don't mind taking on some support from others also.

Weather permitting which means picking a decent track, I was thinking mid to late February (23rd) as I have quite a lot on already in March and then the season kicks off so its ideal I think with Christmas out of the way and another pay day through the door.

Forest of Arden obviously springs to mind on the Arden (Championship) Course but if you have any other idea's lets here them, along with whether food is an option/required etc.

Obviously open to anyone outside of the Midlands also :thup:

I'll look at the PGA, that's a good shout :thup:

Keep the interest and ideas coming
 
society rates based on 12 or more The brabazon £60 per golfer PGA £30 per golfer we did it a few years ago on the pga Think you got coffee and a bacon roll before.

Yes just downloaded the brochure for the PGA which is £30.00 and includes Bacon Roll, Tea/Coffee & Course Planner. Minimum 12 players.

That's pretty good in my book.

We could round up to £35.00 all-in so to have as many prizes as possible?

Any views on this guys & gals?
 
OK, lets start looking at the minimum 12 to start with and then go from there.

Proposed venue, date & schedule:

Belfry PGA
Saturday February 23rd 2013 (TBC)
Tea/Coffee, Bacon Roll, 18 Holes, Course Planner
Individual & Team Prizes
£35.00

Fish
MadAdey
Quinn
Bigfoot

put me down, dependant on Winter League. At present our W/L finishes the week before, but if the weather intervenes then it could ontinue into March, so may count me out
 
I like the idea of a meet but Forest of Arden, Arden course, is for me a far more attractive proposition.

Played the PGA a few times and while it's a good test of golf, it's not fun. Arden course on the other hand is a treat, variety of holes, condition and visual appeal, it's got it all.

crow might have a good point there.The arden course has a winter offer of a round of golf a free range token and a £10 food voucher for £55 or you can play the brabazon for £60 i dont mind any of them for those prices
 
Id be interested in a meet up, though if im honest I cant see me heading to the Belfry, just not a fan, much prefer FofA or multiple other courses. Also cant do the 23rd so if thats fixed im sad to say im out :(
 
OK, as stated this was just initially to get some feedback and I was leaning to the F.o.A myself at the beginning but I hadn't played the PGA so I jumped at it a little and the price was very good :rolleyes:

Are/would people be OK with £55 for the Arden (Championship) Course which includes a range token, Tea/Coffee, Bacon Roll, and a £10 voucher for the Zest restaurant?

Keeping the 23rd in the frame although its not good for some, how does the 16th fair up with those that couldn't do the 23rd and are those that were OK before with the 23rd also OK with the 16th?

Obviously I need to speak to these venues for availability but if I have some numbers 12, 16, 20, 24+ etc it lends itself some weight.

Please announce your interest for either or both dates in preference.

Thank you.
 
From feedback now received I have put either or both dates along with 2 x venues next to your name, please indicate your preference so I can edit and look at a majority rule.

Based on the same £5 addition for prizes this would make the PGA £35.00 and F.o.A £60.00. However, there is a £10.00 food voucher within the FoA making it effectively £50 for comparison purposes.

Please continue to state your interest.
