Taking up on Tony N's response in the "handicap cut" thread.
How's about organising a forum comp, Nth V's Sth somewhere in the Midlands, I'm sure you could pull a few strings for somewhere nice (Belfry sounds good to me  ) At least then there may be some interest and I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for somewhere special.

Awww you beat me to it, I was going to write up a post just like this one whilst watching the golf tonight and then drop mikeH and the guys a quick line. Was also thinking of inviting them upto the northwest meet!
I love the Idea of the ryder cup style tourney, and yeah It would make great pages for the mag
I am sure they would sell loads of extra copies nudge nudge wink wink.

Match play format sounds good. and Ryder cup style is inspirational But.........
Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves as GM have not responded yet and not sure any individuals would want to take on organising something of this magnitude. Or would they?

Evita,
If it is a small scale meet then I think a site location that is accessible by all (mid point from furthest participant each way)
If our friends fra nth 'O' border are involved then maybe further Nth and what about our colleagues on the Emerald isle?.
So Valderamma it is then

I think you've lost the plot, do you think Augusta would allow 24 hairy arsed Brits onto their patch?

Dare I stick my oar in?
If it was open to all magazine readers, most of us would miss out and if it was just going to be forumers.....surely the best option would be for one of us to put it together and then ask GM for help to secure a good course and hopefully good service/terms (as the venue would benefit from a follow-on article).
If we did it, chose an "area" for possible venue, then ask GM for support and "official" backing, it would be straightforward enough.

ok then can someone set up a thread for interested parties with the poll thingy (i haven't a clue how to do that)
Just been on the Belfry site and society packages are available (winter) from £25 for over 12 but less than 36.
If it's going to happen I would prefer somewhere special to make it more memorable.
I would stick my neck out and say just for forum.
Another idea is that if GM does get involved then each area could "adopt" staff from GM

Yup forum only as us folk are really more involved in supporting the mag rather than occasional buyers.
Fancy regional comps to pick teams?

Really good idea if it comes off this time. Certainly would love to be involved as have managed to miss any local forum meets to date (not my fault, other arrangements made by my wife and I would rather my 'tender bits'remained in situ and not in a glass jar by her bed)

So as a starter, how do we go about registering an interest?
if lots are? and judging by the success or lack of of some regional meets, i'm not so sure that we will get stampeded in the rush...... Would 4x teams in random lots make sense? eg team A vs Team B, team C vs team D, in morning. Winners play each other and losers play each other in a points format table .
If, as i suspect that there isn't more than 24 intersted because of availabilty then should be relatively easy. 
I suspect that there would be lots of interest but dates will be a nightmare.
