[Marty Bonnar]

I say, bloody decent of them to hold off the opening, waiting for GCA to arrive:

The Crescent would make an ideal base for the more well-heeled Pests! It looks absolutely beautiful!

[Duncan Cheslett]

After consulting with various senior Pests with greater experience of these things than myself I have settled on the following itinerary;


Sunday  September 5th 2021   36 holes  Cavendish Golf Club (MacKenzie) with light lunch and dinner

Monday  September 6th 2021   36 holes  Reddish Vale Golf Club (MacKenzie) with light lunch

Tuesday September 7th 2021   18 holes  Cavendish Golf Club (MacKenzie) with light lunch


Total price for all of the above (but no alcohol) - £160 per head


Cavendish is located in the lovely spa town of Buxton which will form the base for the event. There are ample boarding opportunities ranging from humble B&Bs to a newly opened 5 star hotel in the renovated Georgian Crescent.

An alternative is England's oldest hotel, which once hosted Mary Queen of Scots and later, Daniel Defoe.

Culture vultures will enjoy the Opera House

Or maybe just a stroll in the Pavilion Gardens

Reddish Vale is an easy 45 minute drive from Buxton through spectacular countryside so there is no need to move from base camp. Manchester International Airport is also only 45 minutes away.

In addition to the above there is the opportunity to play Cavendish on the afternoon of Saturday 5th September on the original MacKenzie routing which was altered to the current sequence soon after the course opened for play. A green fee of £25 will apply plus an optional £5 if you want to take part in the club competition.

I will start a new thread in the next few weeks detailing payment details etc. Please indicate your interest here.


 

[Tony_Muldoon]

Congrats on taking on all opinions and coming up with a superb line up.


I'm in for all of it.


Duncan I can see this being oversubscribed. You've asked for expressions of interest here it might be helpful to state what date you will start the new thread so people can plan without having to look in everyday.  Also with you mentioned a hotel close to the club? With the dinner at the club being within walking distance might be ideal.


Brilliant news

[Lou_Duran]

Interest here.

Duncan


Well done in organising and pleased to say those dates work for me, so please count me in.


Obviously a lot of choice on accommodation but it would be great if most of us could base ourselves in one or two hotels rather than being spread out. Any suggestions for what the main hotel(s) might be ?

Duncan,


Sunday is the 5th of September on my calendar. I assume you are doing Sunday to Tuesday and not the 6th to the 8th.


Sadly these dates are probably not going to work for me.


Hopefully COVID will let this BUDA come to fruition for you.

[Ally Mcintosh]

Duncan,


If you can take part-bookings, count me in for the full Sunday & Monday. Will likely fly home that night from Manchester Airport and miss the final 18 at Cavendish.


Thanks,
Ally

[Sean_A]

Well done Dunc.

I too would probably be a part timer....Saturday and AM Sunday. Although there is a good chance I will be in the US for the Labor Day period....6 September.

Ciao

[Mark Pearce]

Count me, Conrad and 2 or three of my offspring as in.

[Steve Lang]

Duncan,


I'd like a second chance at the 18th at Reddish Vale.  Though the hike through cool sunshine, wind, rain, & warm sunshine conditions were quite an experience that day, getting up to the 18th green was an adventure onto itself... i must redeem myself.


May be traveling next year, just retired...


What's limit on attendees?

[Bill Gayne]

Yes!

[mike_malone]

Jack Weiner and I are in as well as another friend Jack Branyan if we can have three.

[Steve Wilson]

Having played Cavendish in 2015 on my way to Notts, I would very much like to return.  And the name of Reddish Vale has always struck me as among the most intriguing of all course designations.  So, if I feel I can travel and there's room I'd very much to participate.

[Duncan Cheslett]

What's limit on attendees?

Initially 24. Extendable to 36 if demand proves high.


The beauty of playing it Sunday - Tuesday is that demand for tee times from members is very low. It would be more problematic to add tee times at the back end of the week.


Congrats on your retirement Steve. Look forward to seeing you again!

[Enno Gerdes]

I'm definitely interested, and hope to play all 5 rounds.

[JohnVDB]

I’m definitely interested presuming I’m back over here next year.

[Thomas Dai]

Sounding good.
Son and heir and I are both keen to be involved.

[Mike Hendren]

In again.

[James Reader]

I’d love to make my debut BUDA appearance if there’s a space available Duncan.

[Michael Whitaker]

Duncan - as stated before, I’m all in... including the Sat warm up round with the original routing. Thanks for pulling this together!!!

[Dave Herrick]

I have good memories of an early evening round with Duncan at Reddish Vale, then following his recommendation the next day, having a delightful round at scenic Cavendish. I’d very much like to return.

[Mike Leveille]

Interested, would be a first time Pest.

[John Mayhugh]

It's on my calendar. Hopefully travel restrictions will be a distant memory by then.

[Jay Mickle]

Duncan,
I have been foiled the past 2 BUDAS. Count me in for this one.
