tony that's not a good attitude to have we have had that date in for 2 years now you did not have that date picked when i put it in you normally have yours the 2nd or 3rd weekend in January as for you to say one was bound to clash that's rubbish we have one in the summer which is the only open in the north east our night time open is picked with low tide being around 9 pm so we know there will not be a open that weekend as if there was it would have to start at 7 am so the only one that can ever clash is the Nourthumbrian open
