2016 Matches

#1

Dave,
After Arran's on the 6th Aug. we have a month's gap to the next match on 3rd Sep. and similarly from the 17th Sep. to the 15th Oct. another month.
The 20th Aug and the 1st Oct. do not seem to clash with anything and sit nicely in between those already booked, so do you or anyone else think it's a good idea to try and book something for these dates, maybe from some of these:-
Southend Farm
Claygate Sophie
Hawkhurst
Monks 1,2 or 3
Birds Green

Or maybe someone has more suggestions

Its something I had thought about Terry but obviously didnt get far with.

Pear Tree at Hartleylands is available for 20th August. I suspect Monk 2 will be fully booked. Hawkhurst is often available and may be better for the later date as its yet another mindless bagging water in August.

Tel, personally I think it would be good to have 1 or 2 additional matches, but I dont think there's enough time for a debate on which water(s) or dates.
I suggest you and/or Dave choose a couple of potential venues for 20/08 and 01/10, check they're available and can be paid for on a per head basis.
Then put a post up for two possible extra matches and see what sort of response you get from members. If the numbers look worthwhile after say 7-10 days of posting then go ahead and book.
