At my age I don't normally plan a year ahead, but I have made an exception for this.:thup:

 

[HDID Kenny]

Murcar - negotiations complete.

Further emails to follow for those that have paid, so far.

Pete, can you please forward Murcar details.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Pete, can you please forward Murcar details.

Hi Ken,

TBH, were not sworn to secrecy as much as the other two, so here's the details on the other two:-

Thursday option - Cruden bay 9 hole course and the championship course (normally £25 + £100) - our price £60.

Friday option - Murcar (normally £100) - our price is £60.

I think as long as we get at least 20 for each one.

The normal prices are the 2015 price, but they will keep our price even if next years goes up, but with one of them we have to pay before December 2015.

Again it will be about October/November before they fully confirm, but we are in the mix. The deposits will be paid out of the November payment.

Cheers Pete, I might give Cruden a miss and start at Murcur, although that might change when I've spent 4 days playing it in July.

No probs mate, we expect a report though.:thup:

Peter, will the 18 holes at Cruden be in the afternoon ? We are flying up in the morning, so not too worried about missing out on the 9 hole course.

we are about to book our flights as they are so cheap at the moment.

Generally, yes, we will try to get it that we start teeing off from 3.00 ish on the Thursday.

The Friday may be around 11.00, but can also do later times for some if they are only travelling up on the Friday, maybe after 3.00 for them.

They both dont necessarily have to be all together, so if say 20 go off after 3 and another 8 want to go out in the morning as an example, we should be able to split it. Basically we may have two sittings.

Again all subject to confirmation, though.

The 9 hole at Cruden is a freebie included, so again is just an optional warm up.

Couldnt you take the pooch and the missus and make a week out of it?

 

[Paperboy]

Rich, could you let me know where and when your flying from etc please.

Haven't decided whether to drive or fly yet.

 

[Fish]

I have contemplated that, it just means I can't then come out on the lash and have the craic with the lads, which is what these meets are all about.

I think I'll be OK in the end, just means its going to cost me something, but god knows what :mmm:

Bring the missus out with you, I did the other year.

We'd just lost our pooch last year so I took her to Silloth and southerness with me to get her out the house.She fitted in fine.

Hmm, I'll give it some thought, I know it makes sense, it will just change the logistics somewhat of where to stay, will have to find 2 locations to rent a cottage that are dog friendly.

 

[HDID Kenny]

Link below is the company we are using for our Cruden Bay trip in July, the 3 bed apartment that sleeps 6 is available for £750.00 for 3 nights Thursday/Friday/Saturday anyone interested?

You could do carnoustie on the one day. It means just getting one cottage then.

Stonehaven (on the coast) and Banchory are two nice little towns just south of Aberdeen, and you'd be in Carnoustie in about an hour from them, I reckon.

I'd have taken the missus, but she's not off so knackers that one up.

Edit,edit: Stonehaven, not Strathaven - always get them mixed up.

Stonehaven you mean ,Banchory is nice bit of pain to get to right enough
