so that's approx tenner a week, which equals 4pints of bombadier, or 2meals for a fiver twice, not sure how many litres of unleaded, or maybe ten loaves of bread, but surely there must be concessions i.e.older folk, local residents, off peak, or is there a current facility for day passes. it's just that if they are going to double the size of the course given the investment they will need to maybe need to double the membership/usage. I guess that this a private concern who have taken over who are they and what is there track record?

A day ticket is about £18 without a member, £12 with I think. There are concessions for juniors, but nothing else. We're a private club, you can play anytime without restriction, so in theory could play in excess of ten rounds a week. However there is a lot of work done by the members for free, we have an employed adminstrator, but the secretary, tresurer and committee put in many hours for nothing. The company that are building the course - they aren't taking over per se - we're disolving and transferring the membership, haev about 4 other course dotted around the country. We had a ladies day out to one near Coventry a couple of years back, and talking to the members there it seems they ran the club well.

Yup. GolfIdol. Over a seemingly endless period you have to display your golfing skills in front of a panel (Ian Woosnam, Bruce Forsyth, Ronnie Corbett and Simon Cowell), and each week one of the applicants gets voted off. The winner, chosen by the public (the BBC), then gets a free membership.basil said:golf
do i have to go before a commitee and make my case?
If that's not what does happen, it should be.
Erm, had a little walk today to the work area of the new golf course and I must say the road they are building through the field looks pretty much there to stay rarther than being a service road as suggested.
It has road signs and looks like they are laying it properly, anyone know if this is going to be a new entry into the new course?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if planning permission went in for executive homes after the credit crunch.
It looks a bit sly to me. I don't know about regulations, will putting this kind of infastructure in turn the green field into a brown field, making it a suitable building location ?

The whole site that's being worked on at the moment is the golf coursse, who knows what Lord Stafford will do with the rest of the land. There is going ot be in excess of 20 trucks full of earth a day being put on the site at certain points though, so it would need ot be a substantial road.

Okay, I went to a meeting about this last night. Basically there needs to 460,000 cubic metres of inert material brought onto the site, withion the next couple of years, dependent on there being inert material available. If you think how many lorries this will be, then the road needs to be a proper road to support them.
