Have a good time everybody, wish I could come but when I think back I was a bit of a duffer anyway These 'perks' that only a few lenders can access (geographically or otherwise) are more irritating than appealing. Why not a bonus that everyone could enjoy, if they have money burning a hole in their pockets?

Why not a bonus that everyone could enjoy, if they have money burning a hole in their pockets? Geez - you can't please some people! We've been offered two opportunities on two different dates associated with two different sports. Neither of them float my boat and I'd prefer a wine tasting at a central London venue, but they aren't creating a bespoke event for me. It is good to see them offering this type of thing, and of course both will be far more cost effective that offering a bonus to everyone.

Are you going to invest more because you had a freebie golf day? And how many lenders could get there even if it was their thing? Just annoying.

There's a platform that will offer that in exchange for all your money ... probably😂

Ablrate have an existing golf sponsorship which gives them a certain level of brand awareness, hospitality, access to pro players, course access etc, so this is presumably using those marketing rights which are already paid for. The only 'on top' cost is F+B which isn't much. No, I'm not going to invest more because of a free golf day because I'm not that fickle. I'd like to thank one member of their CS team that I've spoken to a couple of times for their hard work. I'd also like to talk to David about one point that I think we disagree on, but I won't be there so I'll save that discussion for another time. Just surprised that an investor could be so annoyed by an attempt to engage their customer base.

I have never played golf, but assume I would be very good at it. Sadly the offer is not one that I could take up. However..... I noticed mention of 'Goody bag' now ablrate that seems like an offer I could easily take part in, what are we talking baseball cap, cup, golf bat and balls?

Many thanks to the ablrate guys for organising a superb golf day yesterday. Lovely venue and a tasty bbq afterwards. Also good to chat to a few other investors. Hope that ablrate will still be going strong next year so they can host another!

I look forward to the addition of "pitch & put" places for those enthusiastic people who aren't normally allowed on the big course....

withnell I take your point although there were a number of non-golfing guests there who presumably enjoyed walking the course with the players & the social side of it.
