Great news for Woburn next year.........

Scouser,Stuart_C - I fancy playing all 3 courses if there is another seperate mini-meet for the day before/after. If were travelling that far down, I dont mind taking 2 days off work to make the most of it, and for another £55 sounds good.

If this pans out, do you fancy it also. With a car share, it will more or less pay for itself.

Smiffy, doing a sound job,lar.

For anyone else in that car, I would recommend ear plugs AND ear defenders.. Could be up for the extra round on Thursday, as long as it was before lunch.

What insinuating pal........I'm a very quiet and reserved type of chap!

We won't be playing before 'lunch" but defo before dinnertime :;):

Sorry you feel this way Pants, but just to correct you, it would be an additional two starters as they are talking about a two tee start not a one tee start as we would have on a society day.
I think £135.00 for the day is terrific value for money and as I said in my original post after this years event, I would pay it again in the blink of an eye. So I am glad that everybody has gone for the two event option. I didn't agree with what I was being told hence my post "Houston we have a problem" as soon as I found out what was going on. Now I could kick up a stink about it. I could threaten all sorts of reactions on the internet. But I won't. Because in all the time I have dealt with Jessica at Woburn, both over this years booking and next years events, I have been treated with the utmost civility and courtesy. I'm not prepared to spit my dummy out and risk them saying "tough, don't come here then". Which they are entitled to do, it is their train set after all, and they can play with it how they like.
There is still a place available to come on either meet at £135.00 mate. You are more than welcome to come along on either day.

OK. Fair comment Smiffy.

From what you and others have written, it sounds a great day out on superb courses and I would love to join you and break my forum meet virginity. In my particular job however, work is either feast or famine and when in the "feast" mode I cannot afford taking any time off at all. Unfortunately I often cannot predict what my commitments are 2 - 3 weeks in advance, let alone a year, so I would have to leave it as if a space became available at the last minute and I was available I would love to play.
 
Wednesday is my preferred day, I was goosed in work last Friday after 36 holes and was aching in places I didn't know existed!

Which is going to be the better of the 2 days then? Never played at Woburn before so I do fancy the dukes. But which is the better course out of the duke or duchess?

I've only played the 2 we played on last week, which is why I'd rather play the Duchess. Of the 2 we played I much preferred the Dukes course but since Dukes/Duchess isn't an option I think I'm going with the Thursday.

From much of what I read about Woburn, the Marquess is most widely regarded as the best of the 3, which just goes to show how much difference of opinion there is about it.
 
Give me a ring later Rob.
Can't be ar$ed reading all the posts.
If you take all the monies, i'm happy to sort out day 2.
Are you saying that if one participates on day 1, they don't on day 2 OR is there an option to play both days?
If so, I may try the Oxfordshire and try a 2 night stoppover again playing 3 rounds.

Hi Dave
firstly, thanks for volunteering to take charge on day 2. Don't worry about the money, I will take care of the whole booking.
I personally don't have a problem with anybody playing both days if they want to, but what has to be taken into account is the fact that Woburn will only accommodate a maximum of 28 players on each day for the Society. With the numbers we have at the moment, as long as nobody bombs out, we have reached our limit.
Obviously, if somebody does bomb out of either day and leaves a place available, then by all means step in and take it. But for the moment I think we will have to limit it to one day per player until the dust settles a bit.
Jessica has responded to my email of this morning already. We have both days booked as requested. Weds will be Marquess & Dukes, Thursday will be Marquess and Duchess.
She has offered other rounds on the other courses for those that want them, either the day before or the day after at a flat rate fee of £60.00 per round (it's gone up from this years rate of £55.00) but bear in mind these have to be played after 1.00pm. This rate is competitve as it is the "members guest rate". Also one thing to bear in mind is that whilst the courses will be fairly clear the day before our meets (Tuesday afternoon) we will be choking up the Dukes on the Weds afternoon and the Duchess on the Thursday afternoon. I hope all of these is making sense!

Put me down for the Thursday one please, Smiffy, as I'd rather play the Marquess/Duchess. It has nothing to do with you not being there! :D
 
I can only do the Wednesday and while £135 was steep but OK, going up to £185 is going to take some extra special ferreting away of the odd fiver here & there and Id rather not go that high.

Id like to know how many extra staff would be needed and why that cant be funded from within the original price
