There are other courses you can play with rather than just heading to the comp record ones (E2/10, V718). You just have to get creative - F20/10 & F11/10 aren't too hard to get in, P612 and P415 aren't bad, P881 & P881r, Q10/19, A10/19, H10/17r etc.
There are club events on the HCC175 (Farnborough and Camberley CC) every month starting in March which you can use to get a better qualifying time for an open, same with Farnham/North Hampshire and the H10/8, and the Bognor Regis P901. Do a ~22 or even a <22 on those and then you'll be fine for most opens.
