Very brave! :thup:

Actually Chris, if I'm helping with the cards, probably best that I go out in one of the early groups too.

 

[User2021]

First tee off 8.40 last 9.40 IN 10 minute intervals. Any preferences please let me know

Thanks Chris

I am only about 90mins away, so happy to go with any tee time and fit in around others.

I'm staying in Canterbury with the wife, so happy to go out early or mid or last, what helps you out or works.

 

[chrisd]

Thanks guys, I shall work out groups etc soon nut I'm hoping Wookie and Blue in Munich and I will soon come up with a master plan so that those doing more than one meet get to play with some different forum members during the tour

In true forum tradition I've got my pet to do the draw for the RCP meet. Croc, my pet alligator, drew the following knowing that we are trying to mix up players over the 3 days. I hope everyone is ok with the groups.

8.40.
Lincoln Q, Captain Ron, Chrisd, 2 Blue

8.50
Mike Chapman, 94Tegsi, Jobr1850

9.00
Blue in Munich, Pieman, Radbourne, Badger

9.10
Rosecott, Darren Williams, Moquillo, Jon

9.20
Hooker, Paddyc, Dando, Wookie

9.30
Swingalot, Fish, The rod, Chris3081

We will play a Stableford comp off full handicap and if everyone pays in £5 I will give £60 to the winner, £35 to the 2nd and £20 to the 3rd place - countback will used if necessary. Mike Chapman has kindly agreed to do the cards after so please get them to him as soon as possible.

Please have a good look at the RCP web site and be sure to follow their dress code and rules, they are a very laid back club when you're there but the rules are the rules

Any questions please ask.

Nice work Chris.

Now can you get RCP to make sure the heating is turned up a notch.

-8 windchill is going to be really fun

The only other option left when I booked was "peeing down like it's going out of fashion" we chose that last year and, to be fair, they did over egg it a bit, but I'd rather have option 5 "isn't it a tad on the chilly side" if you don't mind. 😁

I've chatted to RCP staff about the weather and the fact that it looks like RSG are likely to be closed. RCP policy is that they stay on main greens all the year round and will guarantee that. They get a lot of trade when RSG is closed for weather problems. However, they are aware this is a 3 day meet and RSG being closed gives us a logistical problem with people staying over etc etc

They are going to chat their end and see what solution they can offer, especially if Princes closes too, although they dont think that will happen. I am due to speak with them again tomorrow to see where we are at.

So, no real answer yet but hopefully we'll know more tomorrow

I've just phoned Princes; they have no plans to shut on Sunday so that shouldn't be an issue. I also asked about Tuesday to give us another option; they have plenty of availability and the deal would be £160 per 4 ball including either lunch or breakfast (which would be as a group, not an either/or individual option). I'd imagine that they would honour £40 per head if we had sufficient but weren't complete 4's as they offered for the Sunday booking. They said they could include the Himalayas loop on the Tuesday so if we went any of Sunday's attendees would see 9 new holes. Food for thought if RSG falls through.

Appreciate all the efforts being made by the 3 organisers - top work guys.

I'm going to just enjoy being away from home for 2 days and 1 night!! So what if it's cold!

Will obviously be gutted if RSG falls through but happy with whatever we come up with whilst down there.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Walmer & Kingsdown was mentioned as a potential alternative. The good news is it's £80 per four ball in the winter, the not so good news is that is for rigid 4's only although I'd hope cash on the day would get a kind response if we had numbers under a straight 4, the bad news is that they are struggling to accommodate us until 12.30 ish at the earliest.

 

[Blue in Munich]

London Club, as Dando mentioned it; £80 per head if there is availability before midday, £70 after midday (from the website, I haven't contacted them). Personally I feel that there are better deals to be had at Princes or RCP, especially as it's a links tour, but I throw it open for consideration or observations.

Happy with any of the options given if RSG falls through, so at least it looks like all wont be in vein. Good work gents.

 

[Dando]

I’d be happy returning to either princes or rcp and as my 2 guests haven’t played either of them so I’m sure they’ll be ok

You're guests aren't down to play RCP?
