Royal Porthcawl Team open 28th Feb 2012

I've heard back from the club they can do us a 4 ball on monday 27th at either 12.10 or 12,40 pm, the cost is £55 each. I could book up the 12.40 slot. It doesn't get dark there in Feb until 7pm.

If we want we can stay there also.

They have single rooms available in their dormy house for £45 each b&b.

It's not a bad offer, but we may get cabin fever if we are on site for the best part of 2 days
 
Definitely happy to play there at 12:40. I'll be able to leave home silly early instead of stupid early!

I'm not fussed either way where we stay. Like you say, we might want a change of scenery and it's £26 more, but on the other hand we get breakfast, save on 30 miles of fuel and the time taken to travel it.

I'm just waiting for a reply from Scott to see if he's stopping over with us or sleeping at home.

I'll go with the majority.

Happy with whatever you guys are up for.

Most of my friends would be sleeping in their cars/vans and then sneeking on to the course for free!!

Right I'll book the slot @ 12.40 for Monday 27th, I'll let them know we will sort out our own accomodation. I'll probably be going through Salisbury on the Monday morning early if you want to jump in with me Steve feel free.

Just a few pics to get you in the mood

hi guys been on nights sorry about the late reply, im up for the day before, aswell as staying over, swansea would be my prefernce for bb as porthcawl wont be the livliest of places, especially this time of year.
 
Small problem or two.

1. Swansea Travelodge has no car park. There is an NCP close by with a night rate of £5 (6pm - 8am)
Cardiff has parking for 50 cars (first come first served). It's 3 miles further away but is bang on the M4, so I reckon Cardiff sounds better if that's ok with everyone else?

2. The £19 rate is only for the first room. 2nd is £25.50 then £29 for each one after that. I'm quite happy to book them all if no-one's bothered about it costing £25.63 each (average).
Alternatively we can all book our own?

:confused:

too much choice !!! £25 sounds fine I couldn't find those prices on the website so if you don't mind booking it that would be good.
 
All booked.
Total cost £102.50 for the 4 of us.

Sounds exotic. Nice one cheers Gary. :thup: Take what I owe you off the comp entry.

All we have to do now is pray for good weather.

Booking on the Monday confirmed for 12.40pm @£55 each. They've not asked me for a deposit, as we are committed to the following day this should be enough.

I'm not sure but we may have to come up with a team name for the comp.... any ideas ??

Sounds like a plan. Happy to chuck some money in the tank etc. for your troubles!

Been playing in the wind for the last three days so I'm ready as I'll ever be! Thins and tops seem to be most effective when playing into the wind.

My sugestion for team name would be - Rhymes with Frank.

I've been mostly practicing the shank. We may have to get creative to keep in under the wind.

Is your team name a prediction of how we will perform Steve ??
