I know it's naughty but I can't resist .....Fraserburgh is a hidden gem in that corner of the world too.... only 25 miles from Cruden Bay

I'm still working on Mrs Comma down here in sunny Oxford, so far she's showing resistance so not able to confirm just yet. One thing that I did think - it's an 8 hour/500 mile drive from here to Aberdeen. Are there any other southerners who might be up for flying up from Heathrow and then sharing the cost of a rental car? It's so far in advance that BA aren't actually showing prices for the May dates, but the month before shows as just £110 return plus £40 for your clubs. It's a little bit more than the cost of driving but a lot less than 8 hours. (Virgin fly the same route and will carry clubs for free ... but their flights are £150
Would allow a flight up Friday morning, there in time for Cruden on Friday, play the main event, then the second Carnoustie round on Tuesday morning and an afternoon flight home.
. If it is too unbalanced we may shift it to 3 teams, or Ireland/NI may get their own team. We may even have a Gaels v Anglo saxons - that would be feisty...... ) this may end up just being left to people to sort out themselves. However, in the next few weeks we may ask a few hotels to see if they'll give us a deal, and give us a code, then people can book or not, as they see fit. Again, once we have an idea of numbers, we'll know our bargaining power better.
And Richart's as well - was it the same year?
