I've made enquiries at Woodhall Spa for April next year.

Not necessarily for the GM v HDID match (although it can be if the organisers want it to be), but I for one would like to go there again, and weekends suit me best, so will do all the booking and arranging if enough people are interested. I'm sure we can sort out some rivalry to make it interesting like the farts/snappers we had last (?) year.

Prices for next Winter aren't set in stone yet, but they estimate that it won't be any more than £145 for a round on each course, dinner, bed and breakfast.

The best date looks to be 26/27 April. They alternate members days on the courses and this date allows us to leave the best (Hotchkin) until last (Sunday). The 12th - the other date in April that allows us to do this is only a few days after treatment on the Hotchkin's greens.
Leaving it later also gives us a better chance of decent weather (famous last words!)

It needs to be booked up fairly soon to get reasonable tee times, especially if there's more than a couple of fourballs interested, so I'll leave it here for a week and then decide if it's a go-er or not.

I'll need a £20 non-refundable deposit straight away, then the rest a month or so before we go.

Please express your interest below :)

If it's GM v HDID then count me out.

If not I would definitely be interested.

Edit: I go away on holiday for 10 days on Saturday and not sure if I'll get on here........ If I miss the boat through that so be it if not can pay deposit when I get back.

I wouldn't want to commit to staying over as I may have my AAT exams around this time but would be interested in coming over and playing one of the days, if you could keep me in mine that would be good.
 
It looks like we have enough interest to go ahead, but it won't be vs HDID.

I'll make a note of the order people piped up just in case I can only get so many tee times, and start a reserve list if necessary. With previous experiences of past meets I'd say don't worry if you end up on the reserve list - you will more than likely get in.

A specific hotel wasn't quoted. I got the impression that the price would be the same no matter which one we ended up in, although he did quote different rates for the Summer period depending on the hotel.
I guess it will depend on availability at the time of booking. I've been twice now and in a different hotel each time, and both were fine.

We could have either a singles comp with a pot, or a team event either split by age/location/clubs or just 2 capitano's picking sides.
Personally I'd rather have a team comp, but will go with the majority. :)
Plenty of time to sort that out later, when the list of peeps attending has settled down a bit.

Getting in the Petwood would be good like last time as the food and breakfast was top notch. We had a good laugh in the snooker room after dinner also. Format wise a pairs better-ball might be a good laugh.
