Any venue suggestions yet?

Ian was wondering about hosting at Colchester GC.

I would recommend Saffron Walden if you could get a good deal.

I've some good reports on Saffron Walden as well. Plenty of nice courses around the Essex & Herts area. Frinton, Bentley, Braintree, Theydon Bois, East Herts & Royston are all nice courses. My own course Manor of Groves is looking great at the mo as well. Personally I think Frinton is a great option. It's the closest we have to links golf in this region, they do great food & are very accomodating to societies, even on a Sunday !

would be happy to help re a Felixstowe Ferry meet if you fancied it, think some of you played here last year.

I was at Frinton GC on Saturday for a wedding and I have to say the course looked fantastic from what I saw, and the view certainly was good. Looked like a great undulating links style course.

Would love to play there, if we can get a meet going.

I'm all for Frinton or Felixstowe,, so count me in.. Thought I really do think of the two Felixstowe is the true Links..Also Clacton on Sea may be an option..Parkland style for the first 11 holes then Links style for the remaing 7.. Great Greens....Special deals during the summer on Mondays and Thursdays £22 p/h including light meal..Well worth it..

 

[jammydodger]

I'm up for it and dont mind where as theyre all new to me and those that live down there know the better courses. We could have a late summer meet if someone from down that way wants to come up with a venue.

 

[MKDave]

I'd be well up for another meet with you boys! Another day off work, with another day of glorious golf. Be even nicer if we can have something arranged for this year rather than having to wait until next year.

 

[G1BB0]

I would possibly be up for something in say September if someone fancies sorting it :thup:

 

[full_throttle]

if it's the last week in Sept I'll drive down for the day, Clacton would be best for me, have family friends in Holland-on-Sea.

Regardless of venue if the date is right I'll attend.

 

[rob2]

I fancy Clacton as well (if I am still welcome after not attending Thetford this year )

Lets do it.

[Fozzie]

Well as much as I love Frinton, Clacton would be a new course for me & I've heard it's great fun especially if there's a hoolie blowing !
I'm easy & will go with the majority.

 

[sJoe]

seems to be some interest in Clacton..I'll let you all know what sort of deal can be arranged..Mons and Thurs are the best for deals at the moment..

 

[sJoe]

Possible meet at Clacton.. I think this is a really good deal..
Monday..Lunch (Ham Egg and Chips) 18 holes £22..
Thurs.....same meal either before or after the golf same price £22..
It has to be lunch first on the Mondays as the seniors have the tee reserved in the mornings..So guys if anyone interested let me know..and lets see what can be orgainsed..btw the normal Greenfee is £30 so quite a saving..

 

[Fozzie]

Providing the dates don't clash, I'm in. That sounds like a great deal.

 

[sJoe]

Good to hear from you Fozzie..
Guys/Gals could you let me know what day would suit Mon or Thurs..
Thanks

 

[full_throttle]

Joe, Monday would suit best to allow travelling, only stipulation is it must be the last week in Sept or I'm out due to work.

I'll leave it your very capable hands.
