Longniddry - Scottish 'East Coast' meet - Sunday 23rd or 30th Oct

[DelB]

*Original post edited to change proposed date from 9th October to either 23rd or 30th October*


Had a text conversation with thecraw this morning, following the Millport trip yesterday, and the suggestion of an 'East Coast' forum meet came up.

Have done a little research since and Longniddry (normally £70 for a weekend round) would do us a deal at £40 a head if we can get at least 20 bodies along.

I appreciate that the proposed Spey Valley trip will happen before this one, but I thought it would be nice to organise something as a bit of a season closer for the Scottish regulars!

Anyone fancy this??

Cheers guys.

That's the day after Scotland v England at Goswick, Del. Otherwise I would. It's a lovely course and that's a decent rate for it.

Bad timing otherwise I would have.

 

[DelB]

Ah dammit - didn't think to check and see whether it clashed with any other dates of events on here. What if we changed it to either 23rd or 30th October??

 

[SimonS]

Count me in.

 

[Toad]

I'm ok if it's the 30th mate as still on hols on 23rd.

 

[thecraw]

Naw, I hate salt'n'sauce!

 

[Driven2Distraction]

30th works for me

 

[Mightymoose]

I would be interested, although it's a little far off to be able to confirm.

 

[DelB]

Ok, so if we say the 30th, then we've potentially got:

1. DelB
2. Neill (mate of DelB's)
3. SimonS
4. Toad
5. Driven2Distraction
6. thecraw??
7. Mightymoose

 

[DelB]

Just in case there was any confusion over the title of this thread, can I just clarify that everyone is invited to attend. It's an event on the east coast, not one that's specifically intended for east coast residents only!! Salt and vinegar afficianados are most welcome too!!

Cheers.

Welcome aboard!

Just gauging interest at this stage to see if we can get the required numbers to qualify for the discounted rate and we'll decide on format etc nearer the time. I can guarantee you, however, that there'll be some great banter, good golf, poor golf and the chance to play some great courses in the future with all the guys you'll meet on the day.

I attended my first forum meet not much more than a year ago and have been on a good number since, playing some cracking courses that I never dreamed I would get anywhere near.

 

[alnecosse]

cheers looking forward to it

I would deffo be interested but too far away to confirm.

 

[John_Findlay]

I'd be up for it. Only played there once but caddied there a few times last year and it's an oft overlooked course in the area. Very nice though.

30th Oct? I'll take my ski goggles.

 

[Grumps]

30th should be ok for me Sharkey

 

[golfcitydweller]

count me in del for 30th - let me know if ur strugglin to get enough bodies - got a couple of mates that might be interested ...euan

 

[granters]

Put me down for a provisional! I'll almost definitely make it but will have to confirm later as work is changing a lot at the moment.

Will definitely be there if i can, if only to annoy Mr Kilpatrick by playing off 10......
