GM North west 2013 meet ideas etc

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.

Thats why whoever is organising this needs to grab the bull by the horns and set a venue and date. From organising a few of these I know you'll never please everyone, you just need to pick a date and do it.
 
Im out for Silloth at that time as i cant manage an overnighter and there and back on the day doesnt really appeal.
 
Will do this if the date fits, but will have to be a day trip.
Doing an overnighter in early March so don't want to use up too many playing out passes from our maud too early :D
 
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.
dont fancy dossing in a caravan,if the consensus is this track then that's fine with me so long as there is a decent hotel near by,and a decent place to eat.
 
Good offer on the Silloth website.

Birchy, if this was your idea mate then its your call. Do what suits you not what suits everyone else.

It was my idea to get a thread up and get some meets sorted and ideas discussed etc but it wasnt my idea about Silloth. I did fancy the idea and still do but unfortunatley i cant do an overnighter and dont fancy it as a day trip. I suggest the guys who fancy Silloth and can make it take it on from here and set up the meet :). I will sort out a knock more local if theres any stragglers in the same boat as me.

I would consider a local ish knock (depending on date). I agree for those of us at the south of the region Silloth is a bit of a trek.

I think its a trek from everywhere to be honest thats why i dont like the idea of a there and back on the day type meet. Ive got a few ideas for something local but will see how the Silloth idea goes first so i dont intefere with that.
 
Fair enough, Silloth is good but really an overnighter, did it 2 years ago in june, went up night before then played 36 holes next day and home same night. Easily do-able at that time of year, but in colder darker days for 18 -doesn't appeal.
 
I don't think Silloth is a bit of a trek for a meet for anyone in the NW, if you want just to include the people from around Greater Manchester, Merseyside etc then go to the Wirral or Lancashire/Filde coast and if others wish to come then so be it.

I don't see 3 hours as a trek anywhere for quality golf personally, that said I do around 30k motorway miles a year and I consider the M55 junction on the M6 as just down the road.
 
For a local meet i think the best deal out there is West Lancs on a Sunday for £240(£60 each) per tee time. That includes bacon roll and coffee before play.
