The abandoned four

[rosecott]

The remaining four - me, LIG, Leftie and full throttle - will be assembling at Gainsborough this coming Sunday for the empty shell that used to be the Gainsborough 8 v The Scum. While we are there, we will look at the possibility of resurrecting the original idea of a meet of 8 players in the 2 flats with 2 nights DBB and 4 rounds on the two courses around this time next year for around £170. Register your interest on this thread.

yeah cant wait to sign up for a team called The Scum, maybe a name rethink might help your cause

The title of The Scum applied to the 8 interlopers who were billeted in a local hotel and conspired to take the Gainsborough 8 to the cleaners. We are reverting to the original idea of 8 urbane and sophisticated gentlemen enjoying a few days in excellent company - no scum to be seen.

 

[LIG]

No Scum, no scam either.

The original Flat U vs Flat D was a bit too tame as well so now it's... The Upper Class Toffs vs The Down an' Outers.
Guess which one we are, Jim. Just need some down and outs to sign up!

I might be interested again next year.

It will run. We can get 8 together. By then I might need to have the downstairs flat.

 

[Leftie]

It would be rude not to, I suppose.

 

[LIG]

Will be happy to organise next year's event if I make it through this year's trip unscathed.:mmm:

 

[LincolnShep]

I'd be interested, I'm just south of Lincoln so only half an hour up the road for me.

You're talking about next year, right?

Will start a new thread in a week or two if I survive this year.

Weather is set fair for Sunday through Tuesday, so looking good.

Fairly new forummer RichRaph would like to reserve a place on next year's event.

 

[full_throttle]

I've been up all night watching the Perseids but the sun is shining, so am really looking forward to it today. *** Y A W N ***:swing:

My charriot should be arriving shortly so I hope Leftie doesn't mind if I have 40 winks on the way up. :lol:

 

[rosecott]

Interim report while LIG massages the scores. Rosecott missed from 5 feet for 6 points but beat full throttle by 4 shanks to 1.

 

[full_throttle]

LIG leads after the first round,

although small in numbers, another great weekend, food was plentiful as normal, and the red wine flowed during the evening's card game.

hopefully back next year
