GM North west 2013 meet ideas etc

[Val]

I'd love to do the overnighter but I can't make sat' 23rd feb, but I'd be happy to drive up for 1 round on the Sunday.
I agree its a great halfway house and im closer than most,but can understand that it's a long way to drive for others just for 1 day.

Good man, 140 miles for me and more for Del so not entirely on our doorsteps either but similar distance from Manchester/ Liverpool but I'm not really looking for it to turn into that type of thing.

2.1/2 hours on the road, even a 1 day shot with a 11 or 12 tee off would be ideal and not a killer however overnight with a beer or 2 would be good too.

134 from my house...so guessing if i go overnight would be better

I drove five hours each way to Gainsborough and back in one day, so anything less than that is a walk in the park!!! If its gonna be Silloth then I'd certainly make the effort to come down, but very much further than two and a half hours each way and it is less appealing.

if it going to be a weekender we need a course that is near hotels and has a bit of nightlife or decent pub/curry house etc not one stuck out in the middle of nowhere so how about the following as these can be reached by those north of the border as well.southport or blackpool/lytham if enough go it could be booked as a society package and probably get the rooms cheaper as well,just a thought or stay on site at lancaster.

Totally disagree, a decent boozer is all you need, don't need clubs, curry houses or anything. As long as its a decent track, decent clubhouse for scran after and a pub in the area for night then that's good enough for me.

 

[Karl102]

Is there a firm date yet?!?

 

[splashtryagain]

6inch, I am with the craw, silloth is worth the effort and the town has pubs etc for those who want to partake. There are plenty of hotels and is cheaper is needed loads of statics for hire with leisure facilities.
Don't see how anything else would be any better esp as not everyone will be bothered by clubbing into the wee hours.

 

[Val]

I've suggested the 23/24 Feb but no yes or no so assume its ok, if we decide a date the rest can take care of itself.

As for nightlife, I'm happy with a boozer as the craw says, I wouldn't thank you for a freebie in Blackpool, been there and done htat too often.

 

[louise_a]

i am happy to ring the club on monday and make enquiries for a group.

Cheers Louise. :thup:

If its Silloth then I'm a definite if its further afield I'm a maybe.

Can someone sort a destination and a date, the sheep will come once you select the grazing.

 

[Birchy]

If its Silloth id rather do an overnighter and cant at that time so im a no as it stands.

Might be up for a local knock around if theres anybody else in the same boat

 

[Liverbirdie]

Unfortunately, my time is still governed by LFC fixtures (stupid, aren't I).

I would be available:-

2nd feb weekend

16th Feb weekend

However, no problem if people end up picking another date.

Just out of interest, how are people for the weekend of 2nd march? Possibly better weather,and still 2 weeks away from the Formby/Royal Liverpool meet. Is everyone available then? I agree, a few good boozers would be enough for me nowadays.I've always fancied Silloth, and at this deal, would be much in favour, 3 hours drive or not.

2nd March anyone?

P.S. Sorry, didn't notice the Muirfield was a few days later for some of you.

 

[Karl102]

16th, 23rd or 2nd March could be good for me (subject to approval from HID)..... Could potentially do any day in the week between 16th and 23rd... Perks of half term...

 

[Val]

2nd March ok for me however it would be down and back same day

 

[thecraw]

If we can just pick a date and locus then we will just all follow like sheep. Someone make a decision. On a purely selfish point of view I'd love to play Silloth, Val a day trip suits me or a cheap B&B would also be an option.

 

[DelB]

2nd March ok for me too, but it'd just be a day trip for me given that we're playing at Muirfield on the 5th.

I'm similar mate but lots on into March so would need to be a day trip, it's a shorter journey than going to the Dunes so dead easy

 

[Deleted member 3432]

Damn, damn damn. Fantastic that people are up for a game at Silloth, crap that I will not be able to play on the dates mentioned so far due to a combination of being in the alps skiing or at work and no leave left .

If this comes off you will enjoy it.

 

[Qwerty]

If its the 2nd I'll just do the 1 round and stay in Keswick with the Missus. It's my birthday and as understanding as she normally is I don't think disappearing for the weekend would go down to well.

At the moment I'm just hoping there's availability for this deal at weekends. At the price they're quoting I can see this being really popular.
