Bill, Ward, et. al.,
Whilst it might be wise to wait for an official announcement from one of those who have arranged it, I was told by a reliable BUDA participant, we do trust him with the money, that it is to be the first weekend in September which by my calendar works out to the 2nd through the 4th at Carne with a round at Enniscrone. There was talk of playing another course on the way in, but the name, other than beginning with an M, escapes me.
I can't address the walkability issue, but I'm with Ward in suggesting some recruitment of younger members, otherwise these BUDA's and other events are going to become like those family reunions that get smaller and grayer before fading away altogether. With a year's advance notice perhaps more people can make concrete plans to be there.
