Any interest in a 2015/16 Boomerang? Destination obvious..

« **on:** March 10, 2015, 01:31:56 AM »

With the much anticipated opening of Cape Wickham scheduled for November 2015 I thought it might be time to get the gang back together.

Timing could be for anywhere between November 2015 - April 2016

Listed on the course's website is a package of 2 days golf, flights and accommodation for $890

http://capewickham.com.au/

If any overseas visitors are interested I could check out the suggested airlines for packages to include Barnbougle for any in the group interested. http://barnbougle.com.au/

Anyone with any suggestions please reply to the thread or DM me.

I'll try and maintain a running list. I think if we get more than a dozen interested it's on.

If it's around the holidays my family was hoping to go down around then, I'm sure I'd have no trouble convincing them to swing through! I can't make any promises on attending, but most definitely keep me posted.

Thanks Sean,
Connor

Interested. Has to be in an NZ school holiday to work for me.

Can both of you please either DM or post the date ranges you might be available

Sean,

A very,very good chance I will be in this adventure!

Keep me in the loop.

In, after November 30 2015.

Sean,

If it's in Feb or March of 2016 I would definitely be interested... with Barnbougle a must.

I haven't seen the Warren's baby!!! Plus, I've gotten reports from Matthew Mollica on the "Whitaker Tree" in his front yard and it's time I checked in on my namesake!

Running out of circles round the sun... need to get a move on!

Anxiously awaiting the comments of Michael Wharton Palmer who will be visiting/playing Cape Wickham rather soon.

« **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:48:36 PM »

Indeed leave two weeks from tomorrow for the three week trip.
I will certainly return with comments and pictures.

« **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2015, 04:58:46 PM »

Very tempted. Late January to February probably best for me.

« **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2015, 08:15:23 PM »

I'm definitely keen for a Boomerang next summer.

« **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2015, 08:39:48 PM »

Well short of a critical mass so far.

At the moment we have:

Walsh
Gray
Bennett
McQueen

Timing dependant:

Moore
Whitaker
Towe

Definite maybe:

Dougherty

Sean, FWIW I genuinely suggest you push the timing back....to the 2016 end of your window, at least. At best, the course will be "young" in November 2015. Going later also gives you more chance of getting all or most of Ocean Dunes in play.

Greg,

I don't disagree but wanted to see where the numbers land before making a decision on timing.

« **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2015, 04:16:18 AM »

Sean, I seem to have been forgotten in the wash!! I am a 95% chance and more so if it is in 2016.

Cheers Colin

Sean,

I would be keen on early 2016. Less windy then.

If Whitaker is coming I could organise ten to fifteen more people.

« **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2015, 05:51:11 AM »

Sorry Colin.

Fixed

« **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2015, 09:47:55 AM »

If Whittaker is coming, I'll donate $5 Australian to his cost.

No, Make that $20 Australian. Only for his cost to get to OZ mind you - he can go home at full cost.

Giving this its one and only bump.

Not enough interest to get it off the ground at this stage. Hopefully that changes.

« **Reply #19 on:** March 30, 2015, 04:56:52 PM »

Come on, guys! Let's do this!!! I want a return trip to Oz... and, Mr. Bennett's $20 (although it's only $14 American

).

Late Feb or early March works for me. Surely we can get enough commitment to sign up Elvins' Dirty Dozen! David does remind me a bit of Lee Marvin.

« **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2015, 01:25:31 AM »

Sean,

Definitely interested, March the most likely suitable time for me

« **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2015, 02:16:20 AM »

Had such a blast at Barnbougle... am definitely interested in another Boomerang representing SoCal.

You beauty - rematch with Wayne Freeman coming. Unfortunately, I won't get quite as many shots this time. Not unless Wayne's handicap has decreased.

You are going down this time Freeman. I won't take three from the edge on 18 this time!

Numbers update:

Walsh
Gray
Bennett
McQueen
Freeman
Thornton (March)
Whitaker (preference for late Feb-March)
Pallier

Timing dependant:

Moore (Late Jan)
Towe (Jan)

Definite maybe:

Dougherty (Dec)
Elvins (Jan)
Delahunty (Not early Feb)

March keeps coming up as a suitable time. The other option is probably late January to get the last blush of school holidays.

Sean,

I'm interested as long as it's not in the first 2 weeks in February. Outside of those two weeks it will be time- and work-dependent for me.

To make it work I suggest you will need a firm commitment from at least 16-20 people (half of which aren't Aussies).
