The Machrie, Machrahanish and Machrahanish Dunes Early Autumn 2020

[Liverbirdie]

Spoke to Struans about breakfast a while ago
If you are catching the 7am ferry on Thursday then you will be too early for normal breakfast, but they will do a breakfast box, probably be able to get something on the ferry itself, unless you get seasick ?

We're on the the 9.45?? one, so have time to indulge.

I've booked the starfish one for now, as they do have a tea/coffee making machine and will just sort a breaky at a local caff on the day.

Maybe have a few genteel snifters the night before, all early evening, of course.

Is it just the 5 of us in Tarbert on the Wednesday - you, mark, Fish, Andy greg and me?

No idea who else is coming, certainly game for a bevvy or 2

We have a 7 hour drive to Tarbert after overnighting in Stoke, so should get there around 4-5 pm ??

Our Wednesday plans are still being looked into, but, yep, game for a beer before we hit the sack.

We are heading to islay on the Tuesday night now instead of stopping in Tarbet. We are stopping in a b&b in Port Ellon.

A couple of lads who are coming from Herne Bay are trying to get to Inveray on the Wednesday. That’s a long day at the wheel.

I will be sending out an email tonight to everyone with

Dunaverty info
rooms info
Competition info
ferry times so myself and Cameron can then do tee times.

Not long to go. Can’t wait and praying for great weather

Not had this?

Not had this?

Apologies as it’s been a busy week ?

@Captainron has worked out ferry times so he is on with the tee sheets.

Once completed I will send out.

Was just worried it was deleted through my spam filters.

For those driving keep an eye on the status of the A83 at Rest and be Thankful. Hopefully it is sorted but wet weather could lead to more problems.

I know it’s still too early to tell, but this no more than 6 people rule can’t be good for our meet.

I guess it’s a game of wait and see ??

As long as we stay in groups of 4/6 we should be fine.

We need to respect the clubs we are visiting and the rules.

I think we should be ok unless any more issues take place between now and the end of the month.

I am just hoping this works out. I need this golf trip to go ahead as my season has been pants ?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Glyn it might be best if we eat in set groups , possibly linking 2 sharing rooms together.

This allows the golf groups to be mixed around as you like ?

Funnily enough I was thinking about this.

The email I was supposed to be sending this week will be middle to end of next week now as I need to speak to each club and get the full info about how they want us to play in groups. Eat and stay together.

Anyone recommend a good massage parlour in Campbeltown?

7 rounds in 6 days.

Currently under the chiropracter, and going again on Monday - these old bones may need some help.

Thought you were bringing the Mrs, you should need a massage parlour...

I think Crawford & FatTiger found somewhere like that last time up there but it may longer be in business.

I was originally, but were going to Scotland again end of October now instead.

Trust you with Castrol GTX 3 star petrol and an open flame, no thanks.
