I have just had a catch up call with Andy and Phil , and can now update you on a few things

1. Phil will refresh the website for timings each day , and where we are eating on Wednesday and Thursday night. He will let you know when he has done this

2. Andy and / or Phil will send a note round in the next few weeks covering

- Team Captains
- Handicap Committee Chairman
- Dress code
- Team arrangements for the golf

3. Cost update

- everyone has now paid for all the accommodation for 3 nights bed and breakfast , and the golf for 2 days ( I managed to get the golf FOC at Mottram as they messed us about on accommodation) . This was the payment you made in the last couple of weeks ( JA has very kindly insisted that he shares the cost of the W Lancs green fees with us , despite him being a member …….JA , thank you on behalf of all of us )

- everyone has contributed £150 to the kitty through the deposit which you each paid , which gives a kitty totalling £3000 .

- the costs to come are
: lunch at Mottram / drinks at lunchtime and in the evenings on each of the 3 days
: 3 evening meals .
The kitty of £150 a head will clearly not cover all these costs . I will pay for everything and then ask for a cash top up after the event when I know the exact costs .

- I have agreed with Andy and Phil that I will make a judgement call to allocate the costs more to the drinkers and less to the car drivers / non drinkers …..it will be a judgement call but I do think it is fair to draw the distinction.
