Ø - Dates, w/c Saturday June 8th.. Ø - Although we will have a Captain figure head, our Constitution states that be a consensus view and booked shortly after tour. Numbers are thought to be 10 + Saint as a possible? Ø - Pete and Andy have researched and identified an option of Bulgaria (Light House Golf and Spa Resort). Bazza also presented an additional option of Portugal. Both meet the criteria and the latter may be preferable due to shorter flight and better times. However, Portugal needs some further investigation as the current quote is for half board, too much golf and May dates. May isn't a showstopper but needs to avoid the more expensive half-term week. Turkey is still not acceptable to all members and so has been ruled out along with Palestine. Action: Bazza to follow up Portugal offer and report back. Action: All to discuss on tour and choose between Bulgaria and Portugal, with of course the endorsement of the new Captain 8. A.O. B.
