Judging by previous years all forumers will get a game. May have a restriction on guests. We can have at least 100 players, but more likely to be around the 80/90 mark.

Definitely coming for it, booked the Travelodge in Frimley aswell for Sunday and Monday nights and roped in Junior :cheers:
Will be looking for a game Sunday afternoon and Tuesday before heading back up the road. I've no idea what's round there really so any suggestions welcomed :thup:
Plenty around but if you have a chance to play Blackmoor (if you haven't and Richart can do the honours) then it's worth doing

Booked. :thup:
If Blackmoor fills up then I may be able to get 3 onto mine for the Sunday, however that will depend on next year's Championship fixtures……….
You and me both the way we are nosediving :rofl:

The charity website will go live around Apr/May. At this point, those that want to play will go on line and pay a deposit. This guarantees their place. There will be space for between 90-100 players.
Historically, all those that want to play have got a game and we usually end up having to scramble towards the end to make up the numbers.
We limit it initially to forum members only (plus any guest that have played previously). Then we open it up to guests and we usually give preference to anyone that has to travel a long way for petrol savings.
From my recollection, everyone that has wanted to play has always secured a place.
When I do create the charity page, I'll announce it in the evening to give most people an even chance to secure their place.
If history is to be repeated, there will be a mad flurry at the start to take us to around 50 players, then it will die off as people join in dribs and drabs.
Around August/September, we'll get another surge as we open it up to guests and HFH Fever sets in...
Then end of September, Rich and I start panicking as we will only have around 70 players and we'll get the usual comments to open it up to Twitter and Facebook to get more numbers.....(which we always resist)
This is also usually the time when people start to pull out for various reasons (mostly genuine):rofl: We'll see around 5-10 pull outs.
Around this time forummers will frantically bid to play with the GM staff and hopefully Rick and Pete again...
Then at the start/mid October it all comes together and those holding out come out of the woodwork to fill the final few slots.
On the day, despite being told to get there early as its a shotgun start and being warned about the M25 car park, there will be 3 or 4 that are late which means I will also be late to my groups tee as I wait for them and show them where to go...
Eventually we will all tee off, have a great time, raise a load of cash, have a giggle at Nasher buying his own stuff back at the auction, pig out on fabulous food, buy fabulous gifts and 4 ball vouchers at the auction, find out who the biggest bandit (sorry winner) was, listen intently my short speech,
get tearyeyed as James tells us what it means to the Charity as he accepts the cheque.Then some bright spark will ask when is next years event!!!

A mate wants to come down as well and we are going to book into Frimley Hall so the other halves can enjoy the spa treatments on Sunday and Monday. Will probably be looking for a game on the Sunday as well.

Only down the road from me and a course I've been meaning to play for a while now so I'll definitely be putting my name down.
Would be happy to host anyone looking for a game on the Sunday and possibly the Tuesday.

Might of been a good idea to include that I guess, West Byfleet Homer

West Byfleet is a nice course. perhaps a game there on the Tuesday, assuming it is not ladies day.
