Yes. Graham Cowley, used to be the pro at Bruggen.
The only thing is I didn't realise how far south Aldershot is.
I thought you were looking for somewhere more central?

 

[MarkHK]

Sounds like a great idea would be interested dates & venue dependent, 15 years Army service.

GB72 you're in....welcome.

Bob, distance for people to travel will definitely be a factor, but I suppose it depends on what sort of deal we can broker with the various clubs that we look at.

My thoughts are that we would all pay the appropriate green fee for the golf and that the golf club would donate all (ideally) or some of the green fees to the Help for Heroes fund. This is going to generate some of the fundraising (together with the "justgiving" web page, auction, raffle, etc)
Obviously if we get a club that is prepared to donate more of the green fee than another, then we would need to take that into account and might have to compromise on the location.
I suppose at this point we need to keep all our options open. The more we look at the better position we will be in to make a decision.
Thoughts?

there's a former jenny (Wren) at our club. probably won't see her till next month but a possibility for your three-ball.

Guys,

I was in the Sea Cadets as a youth, although would be happy to play for any applicable team (GM Forum Reader\Cadet).

 

[rickg]

Hi Redwood, I've included you in with the other Public Sector/ex Cadets group. Welcome.

I was in the Sea Scouts many years ago but my tent sank

Current list below.

I'm hoping to firm up a venue and date by the end of next week, (the sooner I can do this, the sooner we can register the event on the Help for Heroes web page and set up a "justgiving" webpage for donations.

What would help me was if I knew where everyone who has expressed an interest so far was located. This will help with deciding on the final venue, although I must admit at first glances, the Army GC at Aldershot is sounding good. Not least becuase of it's close connection to the military and Bob knowing the pro there.
However, I realise that whatever venue we choose isn't going to be ideal for everyone and there's going to have to be some compromises between getting a good deal and how far people are prepared to travel.
I'd be grateful if the existing people involved could advise me of their location, (Town or county is fine), either in this thread or via PM and I'll collate the data.
Thanks

Norwich (thats in Norfolk btw)

 

[Robobum]

In in Swindon Wiltshire, Cirencester Gc is in Gloucestershire.

Don't care where it is, as long as I can do the date I'll be there, very worthwhile cause.

If your location is listed in your AVATAR, then no need to send it again, I'll get it from there.

I work for the health service so stick me in whatever team I am applicable for

 

[rickg]

Hi tincup. Welcome....I've put you in with the others from the Public Sector

 

[jedsta20]

7 years Army service. I'd love to get involved but it may depend on the location. My other half may need the car for work. It'll be good to beat the Navy again like we did at football an rugby.
