I hope to make it.  Somehow I ended up with an unopened bottle of Balvenie Doublewood which I feel I should bring along.  As long as we have it, we will have Uncle Bill in spirit(s).   And yes, it's great to have this planned so far in advance.

I've always wanted to attend a BUDA, I have added this one to my calendar. Almost 11 months of anticipation.

If it's half as much fun as Golspie/Brora how can I miss it?
Please count me in.

Good stuff Dave, I’m looking forward to a repeat of our Golspie singles match. Hopefully we can get a pre or post Buda round at North Berwick.

Mark,


Great work and thanks for organising.


Unfortunately I'm not sure I'll be able to attend on those dates. Every September (apart from when Buda occasionally shifts month) I have 2 golf trips, Buda is one, the other is an Inter Regional architects tournament attended by architects from all over GB&I (we've even had a USA team these past couple of years!)


Its always been on my mind that at some point the 2 trips would clash, so it had to happen sooner or later and this looks to be it. I'd find it very difficult to miss Buda, especially at Goswick which I'm really keen to see. But I'd also find it very difficult to miss the Inter Regional tournament, especially as I Captain the side and we will also be hosting the tournament the following year.


The Inter Regional tournament is 8 and 9 Sept in Northern Ireland next year. One possibility could be to play the first day of Buda only, before travelling to Northern Ireland, but I understand how awkward it would be to have someone attend for just one day...

Ben Stephens is in the same boat as me with this unfortunately...

Cheers,

James

James,


We'd love to see you and Ben on the Friday and, of course, at as much of the pre-BUDA golf as you can manage.

Thanks Mark,
Looking forward to a day at Buda and hopefully a day before somewhere catching up with plenty of attendees before heading off to my other golf trip!
Cheers,

Well, if chances are that James is not going to be there to savage me, I better clear my schedule.  Is there train service nearby from Scotland?

The East Coast mainline runs alongside the course at Goswick.  There are stops at Berwick and Alnwick, from where I'm sure lifts are available.  There are also express buses from Berwick station to the Lord Crewe Arms in Bamburgh which, I suspect, at least some pests will end up staying at.

Just day-dreaming a little today.  New non-stop air from Nashville to London.  Is taking a train up viable?

The main east coast London-Edinburgh line has daily services which stop off at Berwick-upon-Tweed. From there it's a short car/cab journey to Goswick. Easily done.

What MG said.

Three and a half hours from Kings Cross. DO IT!
Alternatively, there will be cars coming up from down there...

Bogey - we will get you sorted. Just get yourself over and transportation will be relatively easy. As Marty says, there will be a few driving up from London (or taking the train). The train from Kings Cross station is an easy trip and there will be numerous Buda-pests on the other end to help you get around.

This isn't that far off as I just purchased tickets to see ELO in July and Buda is but 2 months thereafter.

The East Coast mainline runs right by the 7th hole at Goswick.  There'll be pre-BUDA golf on offer in Newcastle.  This is a train friendly BUDA.
