Inter-services Match

[barb]

Hi
This is a fantastic idea.

Hubby was army so if poss he would like to play (he is called Jay) and I was brownies/girl guides but as teegirl is on her own I would team up with her thats assuming there are stil places left.

I'd be interested in this as well. 22 years in the RAF 1980 - 2003

Hi Rick

Should've guessed you'd be behind this!!

Put me down for the Fire Service mate.

OK I want it known that I'm definitely in on the Public Sector side of things rather than my meagre CCF career. Although I admittedly have an admin role its my job to get the nursing staff (anything from portering to the theatre staff - basically anyone but Dr's) through the door and into the role and try and keep them in post. I have nothing but admiration for all our nurses, firemen, police, ambulance, coast guard and at this particular juncture our armed forces.

I hope and think this has the potential to really roll. Anyone thought about the national press etc (obviously once logistics are sorted) as the Red Tops (don't all groan) would leap on this. Add in press interest from specialist (in house) avenues, plus GM etc and this could really do some good

Welcome Barb, Jay, Evita4 & Dean. You're all included.
Homer, I changed you from CCF to Public Sector, (or would you prefer Ambulance?)
Homer, would definitely like to broadcast it more widely when we have firmed up a few more details (minimum when the date & venue are firmed up)

From a slightly selfish (organising the GM Meet at Ascot on June 9th) but also pragmatic viewpoint, there are a few golf days already in place (Addington, GM v Golf Magic, etc) so it would be worth checking out the Arrange a Game and main forum for dates so that everyone can make sure they have cash, holiday etc sorted.

Absolutely....I'm already playing the Addington, Forest Pines and probably, the Ascot meet, so will definitely need to be sensitive about dates.
It looks like we have enough interest to start making some tentative enquiries re venues & dates. I think the date will be more important than the venue, (given that we'll likely pick somewhere reasonably Central).

 

[Wildrover]

rickg, now I know we can't expect the light blues to understand but the FAA is the Fleet Air Arm, so Navy please.

Not a proper matelot but it'll have to do. Although being a WAFU you'll be good at golf with all that shore time.

To the uninitiated the term "WAFU" is not for translation on a family forum such as this.

 

[Bigfoot]

I will play dependant on the date, but cannot claim any affiliation to any of the services so put me down for the forum posters.

Hi Rick

Should've guessed you'd be behind this!!

Put me down for the Fire Service mate.

Where you at Dean ? I'm a Fireman too but the original entrance criteria was forces so I used that to gain entry first !!

 

[rickg]

OK Bigfoot, I've put you down.
Jammydodger, no problem changing you to Fire Service if you want. Only trouble is if we get any more Firemen, it will turn into a Volleyball match instead of a golf match!!
Do you want to be Army or Fire?

 

[jammydodger]

I'll stick with Army , theyre much rougher and tougher tbh

 

[Golfmmad]

This is a great idea, put me down please, depending on dates of course. Was in the Army in the early 70's.

Golfmmad.

 

[SammmeBee]

Do you mean Army GC in Aldershot? I think just from the name you need to have it there....at the end of the runway at Farnborough isn't it?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I like the idea of using the Army GC. It would have potentially great tie ins for use in the press etc. Blackmoor is a decent heathland track and its tie in with Bordon could prove interesting. Its these sort of links that would get a lot of the publicity people (press, local TV etc) interested

 

[rickg]

Golfmmad, I've put you down.
I took a look at The Army golf course on the web... looks interesting and promising.
Bob is this the one where you know the pro?

 

[TonyN]

As a fellow servant of the crown, put me down!

Plod it is!

 

[teegirl]

Nice one Barb, Thought I was just going to do the tee's but looks like we may have a game on

 

[rickg]

TonyN...you're in...welcome.

 

[GB72]

I could be interested as a servant of the crown if time with the crown prosecution service counts. Also spent 3 years in the ccf as well.
