John,

Tahfiet is Dave Buesken (Dave Burns' friend). As I said earlier, if I could have the airfield in late June, or late September, there would have been no issues. Remember, Cyprus' main income IS Tourism and when everyone in this world can be on holiday, they come to Cyprus. July and August this place is a ZOO!! and an expensive one.

I never complained in NI about the organisation, I only complained about the catering!!!. I know how tough it is to organise an event of this size and I am not scared of going through it. All I said was that it would become really expesive for competitors to attend and they would be scattered all around the island. NI became expensive for everyone who attended. Had it been reasonably priced, you wouldn't hear so many complaints. My 2 Euro cents.

In saying all that, I will still apply to host the Masters in 2011, when I make damn sure I have the airfield when I want it.
