Stratford on Avon GC, anytime in May/June
Brocton Hall (Staffs), great course, excellent hospitality, beautiful setting and clubhouse.
Good deals to be had for the right numbers.

I would go for somewhere proper snazzy like Lindrick golf club. Would play it out of the main part of season so people arent on holidays or in the middle of the club season etc.
A Sunday deal would probably get more interest too as it doesnt involve time off for most.

I thought about a trip north of the border.i hear there's a little golf tournament at Glen Eagles next year . Would be good to have a game on the saturday then go and see the ryder cup Sunday . just an idea ?
Been their, done it
Think it would be too expensive for most and too far.
A single day is all that is needed for this kind of event at the right venue/deal.
As soon as you start asking for idea's all your going to do is go around in circles because what will suit one person won't suit another and the same with a date.
Personally, you select a venue that hasn't been used before or not for a while that can be accessed by most around the 2hr travel mark, which should take a majority into account, choose a date and those that can make it great, those that can't, well, they can't.
Example: 2hrs from Brocton Hall in Staffs is; Lancaster (NW), Leeds (NE), Lincoln (E), Bristol (SW) plus most of anything north of the M4 and M25, if anyone is prepared to travel further then great but that's a lot of doors within that area.
I'd also look at either March prior to the season starting which can be full-on once under-way but with the risk of possibility of dodgy weather or August/September when comps have slowed down and main holidays have been taken and the "odd holiday day" is left to get rid off.
Simple's :thup:
Just my tuppence worth
And its a good idea, trouble is some of the better courses have a habit of whacking the greens fee's up to make the most of it.
And if you struggle to get people to travel a couple of hours most of the guys from middle englandshire wont travel to The home of golf. Though the scottish guys will travel on the whole

anywhere within a couple of hrs of me, at a decent course, as long as the date doesnt clash and I would be interested (but that may well be most peoples response and hard to please everyone). think your best option is to pick 3 venues and 3 dates, put up a quick poll thread then go with whichever is most popular, bearing in mind that you need to be price sensitive to a degree

I wasnt that suprised about that. Its being held at a place which is pretty much a trek for the vast majority of the people on this forum who play meets. Its being held on a Friday which means a day off work for 90% of people and is also the worst day of the week to travel (took my mate 10 hrs to get home from Bristol last Friday). Its also in the middle of holiday season and iirc the kids finish school that day for the summer holidays.
I doff my cap to anybody who tries organise meets as its not easy but sometimes youve got to look and wonder why they dont fancy it.
Yes, and I don't think Worcester on a Friday afternoon is very central for most of those that attend meets and most would have to tackle the M5, M42 & M6 if NW or M5, M42 & M1 if N/NE or M5 & M4 if south late on a Friday afternoon dependent on their locations.
Too late a tee time on a Friday and not great to access unless your local (50 miles) IMO
