Captains weekend - please vote

    (apologies, there was a problem with the first poll, please vote again!)

    All, as we're only about 6 weeks from Captains weekend, we need to get some ideas for numbers for Golf and Accomodation. Please select an option from this poll so we can get an idea. Note: this is not actually reserving anything, we'll be contacting everyone who responds to this poll in a few weeks to get confirmation/deposits etc

    From a golf perspective, the rate for the 3 courses is cheaper than playing any 2 so there won't be an option to pay for 2 only (around 90pp for all 3). If you can only play either Friday or Saturday then we might be able to organise a rate for one depending on overall numbers.
    Note: The round in Dungarvan on the Sunday will most likely be some form of team event/fun day/scramble
    Reminder:
    Friday: West Waterford
    Saturday (captains day): Gold Coast
    Sunday: Dungarvan

    I've reserved some accomodation in Gold Coast. The lodges have 4 bedrooms each with one of them being a twin room so can take 5 if two people share. The cost will be around 100-140 pp for the two nights (depending on exact numbers/room use). We may be able to sort out something for people staying only 1 night, but preference will be given to those staying both nights first and will be a best effort after that depending on what we have available.

    Thanks,
    Alan.

    Living close I doubt i will stay over.

    However no option for playing 3 days no accommodation required in above list.

    Oops, sorry about that. Just select Fri and Sat - no accomodation required/getting my own...

    Will do for getting an idea of the general numbers. Thanks

    Playing all days - 2 nights accomodation

    Just for 100% clarity @Alanm

    I selected playing all days and staying two nights.

    I mean that I'll be playing Friday and Saturday, but will likely not be playing the extra friendly game proposed for the Sunday

    Do we have an idea of the cost of staying just one night (Friday). I've not gone for beers with the society, but my family home is just 40 minutes away.

    Playing all days - 2 nights accomodation

    That's OK thanks Space. For anyone else doing the same please choose option 1.

    If we have availability, it will likely be in the 50-70 range. O

    We'll try to accommodate all requirements, please select Playing Sat and Sun - Sat night accomodation only for now; the poll is just for a general idea of numbers, I'll open up tee times and get deposits for accommodation in the next couple of weeks...

    Sorry to miss this outing, Alan, on holiday that weekend. In Waterford, of all places.

    I think it's more ominous for us all that the last time the society was in West Waterford, a certain @a post punk came away as the winner, if I remember correctly



  • Registered Users Posts: 367 ✭✭Break80


    Playing all days - 2 nights accomodation

    That's right.

    I played with him and his brother that day.

    His brother had to pay for dinner as well on the side bet.

    Fed and found, not a bad day.

    Correct and right. Have a very funny picture of it here actually. I’ll show you Saturday
