Hi Steve,

That would be great. I can do all July dates but only 11/12/13 Aug. 
Finally hanging up the suit on 10 July so very available when not spending money foolishly..

Thanks for the replies chaps.

It turns out that the course is not available on the most popular date 11th Aug due to the Beacon Festival Junior Open (kids eh?).

 

The next most popular date is Wed 22nd July. Apologies to those that cannot make that date.

 

Please pencil in 22 Jul.

Usual format: Lunchtime meet, sarnies, early afternoon tee-time, Ruby in Crowborough

 

Eyes to the Right:           Steve, Geoff, Jez, Rob, Pete, Les O, Phil M

Nose to the Left:            Martin, Clive, Phil H, Stu

 

Col – assume it’s a bit too much of a trek for you, but you’d be most welcome to join us at East Sussex’s finest.

 

Donnie – What say ye?

 

Cheers

Steve

Pork chops,

 

I have some bad news and some good news:

 

Bad News: Unbeknownst to me at the time of planning, Crowborough Beacon is closed for maintenance on July 22nd.

Good News: Geoff to the rescue, Kingswood is available and Geoff has booked us in, first tee at 1.30pm.

 

So, take note, our July 22nd event will be at Kingswood.

 

Just to confirm we have the following FBs lined up to play: Clive, Jez, Geoff, Steve, Rob, Pete, Les O, Phil M, Don.

 

Nobody is allowed to drop out of this event for any reason otherwise Geoff will throw his teddies a long way out of the pram, have a hissy fit and scweam and scweam and scweam.

 

Geoff will send another note shortly with details for the day.

 

Cheers

Steve

I feel so bad that I'm immediately resigning as Scoring Secretary and will not be standing for re-election.

Chubby ones,

Following on from Steve’s gracious apology for his momentous cock-up, I have booked 3 tees at Kingswood from 1.30 on 22nd July. The green fees, at member’s guest rates, is £47 per head. Meet at the club at 12.01 for bar lunch and drinks. I will book a curry house, probably the Royal Ghurka at The Fox on the Hill, lower Kingswood.

Thanks Geoff, a shame not to get to play Crowborough again, but Kingswood is a perfect alternative - looking forward to it.
