Saturday 22nd April 2006

Mottram Hall

Bit of a brief resume for Mottram Hall as I wasn't there so all info below has been kindly donated by Capt.Steve, Thanks for that!

Only 12 turned up at Mottram - Lew and Mike Gill got lost in Manchester! This was treated as an official tournament. Following is the email excuse received from Lew and Mike.

"Many apologies for not making it to Mottram Hall on Saturday. Gill-boy and I arrived in Manchester a little early so thought we'd test the knowledge of some of the locals so drove around asking them questions such as "do you know the way to Prestbury and/or Mottram Hall?" . Must say they at least tried to be helpful by giving directions even though they hadn't the foggiest idea where they were.

However, if you believe in the Chaos Theory there is an upside to our trials and tribulations. Our problems probably shifted the Cosmic force balance just enough to enable Liverpool to beat Chelsea.

Cheers, Lew "Pathfinder" Compton"

I won't mention that there were directions on the website on how to get there! Anyway to the winners and losers on the day,


Winner - Peter Fahy - 33 points
Spoon - John Robinson - 16 points



The FFGS Championship 2006 in Mallorca

message from our Captain, so we'd better listen!

"Right guys, the event of the decade is fast approaching so I thought I would write you all a note just to remind you of the obvious. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust you!!!!! So please read the following points carefully and try to fully digest them. Thank you.

1. We are going to Mallorca, which is the same as Majorca, and we are staying at the Sol Magaluf Park Hotel, in the centre of Magaluf, on a half board basis. Tel no: 0034 971 130 950

2. Please be at the Cross House pub for 4.50 am on Wednesday 10th May. The coach will leave at 5.00 am. Glen, as you are travelling from home to the airport ( its Liverpool, by the way ), check in is at 6.00 am, the plane leaves at 8.00 am.

3. Don't forget your passports, money, golf clubs or holiday insurance. These are essential.

4. Do not bring trolleys. You can hire them at the courses if you wish.

5. You will be given your F.F.G.S. golf shirt, to be worn by all on the final day, on the coach. Have a bag handy to put it in. It is a lovely shade of **** and I advise black trousers to compliment it.

6. Ian Milne will be collecting £20 from everyone on the coach for the shirt and coach fees.

7. There will be the usual quiz and overall position prediction competition.

That will do for now. See you all in 2 weeks."
