HFH 2016 Venue and date announcement

[howard@vpar.com]

I've used VPAR several times - it really is a very good system. Easy to use, nice stats emailed to each player after the game, and great for a day like ours as you can see who is winning as you play! Also, I think people can log in on the day and track the scores?

I think for VPAR to get coverage in GM and on the Forum would easily constitute a free deal! (Howard, say hi to Jeremy Gray from Nick at ICE!)

Hi Nick - will do!! Thanks for great words - it's also great for charities with branding and so on!!

 

[howard@vpar.com]

of course, Nick, we run a huge amount of charity events each year, our branding and public awareness is proven to boost awareness of a day and the awareness of what is one of the best charities.

I'll hear from them I'm sure

I shall do mine next week once pay day arrives

Just to confirm we run the day without making any payments for services. Please do not ask for payment if you are easily offended.

Over the years we have had fantastic contributions from major companies, smaller ones, and a huge number of individuals. We have never paid for these services, and to pay anyone now would be a kick in the teeth to these contributors.

If you do wish to do live scoring, as an alternative to VPar, you might want to check out GD Score - www.gdscore.com. 01508 218079. Speak to Ben. They are just as good as VPar but might be able to offer a better deal. Nick

Are they likely to offer to do it for free?

Hi guys, just to let everyone know, we have the same set up as last year for scoring.
We prefer to shy away from any "live" scoring systems, as;
A: Richard doesn't understand any of it :rofl:
B: The HFH days are always notoriously slow anyway and live scoring always slow things down even more.
C: They typically want to charge and we would prefer ALL proceeds to go to the charity instead.( even if a live scoring was offered for free, we would probably turn it down due to reason B above).

Thanks for all the offers though, much appreciated.

Tell the truth Rick, it's option A isn't it?

We also still have free access to handicapmaster as a backup if needed.

Heres a reminder for everybody of last years results on GG.

The Just Giving page is now created and open for Donations. :thup:

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/GolfMonthlyForumHFH2016

IMPORTANT:

We only require £35 payment per person at present.
Please enter the word "Donation" in the comments box

Raffle ticket money will be collected on the day (£5 each or £10 for 3) as well as your payment for the golf and food (£55). We will need cash on the day for this please as this is what we will be paying to Camberley Heath.

Gift Aid rules have been rigorously applied since last year and you will NOT be able to claim gift aid for raffle tickets or auction prizes, or pretty much anything where you get something back in return for your donation.

The £35 payment is a straightforward donation with nothing in return so this is eligible for gift aid. Please ensure you claim it.

Please don't send me a PM to say you've paid, I'll receive an automated email to let me know, but please DO put your forum name in the "Your name" box so I can track who the money is from.

I'll post a regular update with names and total raised throughout the year.

Just a reminder for anyone who is coming to the thread new and those wanting to invite a guest.
It's Mon 24th Oct shotgun start approx 9:30

Don't remind me, 9th with 32 points, not bad but when I was only 4 over gross other than blobbing the 8th on the front and then 2 more with 2 doubles on the back, it could/should have been a much more threatening score 😞

Thanks for posting that, everyone can now admire my superb 41 points return.













(Okay, so that was for the two days combined. )
