I know it sort of defeats the idea of a 'mega meet', but there's nothing to stop more than one meet being organised, then people can choose which one(s) they want to attend.
If we're talking about it not being centrally located, you can get a cracking deal at St.Mellion which has 2 courses - one of which is superb imo. (I may have mentioned this before)
I'd also be interested in an overseas (hot) meet as Gibbo mentioned, but people would have to be really committed because drop-outs would ruin it.
St Mellion sounds great. I would deffo be up for a trip abroad if someone were to organise. deposits or full amount within x time of going, maybe even limit to 8 as could easily fill that and a couple of reserves. I have no mates who play so a trip abroad any other way would never happen for me so a trip with like minded forum members would be ace.

I would love to go to Turkey again. The courses out there are absolutely fantastic and the all inclusive hotel deals they do are some of the best around. I went last year, and it was blinding. I wanted to go again this year but a crap 6 months or so at work put paid to my plans.
The lads are going over again in May, I think the total cost including flights is around about the £1k mark. Sounds a lot of money, but when you look at the "all inclusive" part of it, it's not too bad. During the 90's I used to organise a trip over to the Algarve for myself and a group of mates. Had a contact over there who rented us a villa, and she booked up the courses for us. If I remember correctly, it used to cost us about £500.00 or so by the time we divided out the cost of the villa etc.
But then you had to hire 3 cars, and you were basically self catering. So you bought food at the clubs, (which was bloody expensive), and you went out every evening eating and drinking. Weigh up the cost of the meals and a few rounds of drinks with 8 of you in a group and at the end of the day I bet we weren't spending far short of a grand each on those holidays, and we were "slumming" it in a villa, had to make our own way to the courses, and 3 guys couldn't drink each evening because they had to drive home. Caused no end of rows that did!!
I would be quite happy to go to Turkey again next year (yes 2014) and if it were planned far enough in advance bunging £50.00 a month away into a holiday fund wouldn't be missed so much by either me, or the Missus!
But you would have to get firm commitment. I pulled out early for this years trip and I know that it caused Danny (the organiser) quite q bit of grief as he had committed to the numbers and had to find somebody to replace me. I lost my deposit (quite rightly so) but as much as it pee'd me off doing it, it had to be done.
Trust me...............Turkey is the place to go.

Basically if you want a golfing holiday abroad now for outstanding value, it's got to be somewhere outside the Eurozone. I used to go to Spain every year - playing Mijas, Santana, La Cala and Alhaurin - but when the Euro came in and the costs started going through the roof I couldn't justify the cost, particularly with family holidays now taking priority. Apparently Bulgaria is now the up-and-coming golf destination, and also haven't heard a bad word said about Turkey.

I would love to spend 2 or 3 nights north of the border with 3 or 4 rounds of golf. Worth the long drive from down sarf
Come to Machrihanish then. Awesome deal, awesome tracks.
