GM North East Meet: 1st Dec 2012. Venue TBC

[MGL]

Just to get the next meet in the diary now and give you an excuse to avoid getting dragged into Xmas shopping!

Venue & Cost to be decided. Suggest we stick to a £5 sweep fund and if we all put a couple of quid in extra we can get one of those Claret Jug trophies for the individual winner. Moogie can get his name engraved on it first!

[Wayman]

cleveland (aint played but fancy it)
foxton (alnmouth)

I'm in for the 1st. Saturdays are better because Sunday is competition day at mine over winter.

I'd maybe advise against links courses in the winter with so many of us being high handicappers. No fun to get battered in the wind and rain and run up a cricket score every hole.

 

[MGL]

Excellent - thats a four ball already!

 

[richy]

INNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

There's been a good number of courses mentioned here and on the other thread so I'm sure we can come up with a decent DRY venue.

 

[moogie]

Put MY name in the hat for the 1st mate, play anywhere

I'd maybe advise WE PLAY links courses in the winter with so many of us being high handicappers. ITS REAL fun to get battered in the wind and rain and run up a cricket score every hole.

Fixed that for u Kellfire...........:thup:

Sorry Dean but I guess that's more important anyway!

 

[MGL]

Guys - just to ask all those that played yesterday to check their emails for some news about a society website for us plus all the scores, photos and leaderboard from yesterday!

 

[Wayman]

got email sounds great stuff

take it the 49quid is between all of us yeah?

 

[Garesfield ACE]

Count me in....and Bill Melton.

Happy to play anywhere but I am VERY HAPPY to play a links course.....otherwise may I suggest move 'inland Newcastle/west of Newcastle way' to make it our turn to travel a bit less distance?

If its an early tee and not miles away, then I'll be able to make this.

yeah its £49 between all of us - not each! Just seems like a nice simple way to manage loads of things without the grief of trying to set something up ourselves.

Great stuff Kev - re: courses is there anywhere you would suggest?

 

[Wayman]

tyneside?

needs to be a course that drains well

 

[bozza]

Just to let you all know I've had a email back fron Rockliffe.

Standard winter green fee of £45 but he said he will thrown soup and sandwiches for either before or after the round.

It's not a bad deal becaue I think a soup and a sandwich would be about £7 normally.

It's a seriously good course, never has winter tees or greens and is in better condition in winter than some courses in summer, Kellfire will vouch for how good a condition a course it is.

Might be a idea for one after Christmas/new year?

Oh and this would be a Sunday as they have comps on a Saturday.

 

[bozza]

Also forgot to add I can't make the 1st December as I'm working nights the Friday night so unless I can blag a day off I doubt I could play.

 

[Wayman]

there is a singles event on at prudhoe 28th dec could play in open and get us teeing off together as well might be a idea

 

[richy]

He only minor problem I can see with paying for that site is what if someone doesn't want to play at every meet or others join along the line sometime in the future.

Personally I'd rather use the extra money and add it to the sweep fund or put it towards a trophey that you keep until the following meet.
