Hi Guys After our successful visit to Heydon Grange, where John Wayne won the green jacket. I was approached by some very tired golfers where the suggestion was that I reinstate the Barnham Broom Golf Weekend. This has now been sorted and there are 12 places available for the 14th/15th October. It is a Sunday/Monday as regulars will remeber and includes 2 rounds of golf, B&B and evening meal. Price will be £99 per person. This is an increase on before and you will realise once you get down there as the whole place has been refurbished to a high standard. My source at Barnham Broom is holding the rooms for the next couple of days. So I need confirmation and deposits of £25 english pounds to confirm your place. I have to insist on the money as last time I done it, I got well and truly KNOCKED!!!!! The first 12 in will confirm there place if anymore need to go after that they will have to book it themselves. Get back to your uncle beggar @ tonyboosey@btinternet.com or tele: 07917693117. Laters BEGGAR

Tony has secured 20 places @ Barnham Broom Golf Club for the 21 & 22 March. He tells me that the Club requires a "pony" by way of deposit. For those who don't have access to a small horse, please let me (Andy Cork) know by the 18th January if you are interested and let me have £25 to secure a place. The full cost is £74 and this pays for 2 rounds of golf, dinner, overnight stay, and breakfast. Those Gannets who have been before know how enjoyable the two days can be, so thank you Tony for your efforts in endeavouring to revive this pre-season event.
Although not a club event, Andy Cork has asked me to put this on the site.
There is an evening with Henry Blowfelled at the Rhodes Centre on Thursday 11th February @ 8.00pm, Ticket prices are £16.50 and concessions £13.50.

Bacon roll & coffee on arrival 9 hole competition-Lunch-18 hole competition-Awards presentation.
