Tickets are required for ENTRY. This year you MUST PLEASE SHOW YOUR TICKETS FOR ENTRY - Security will be “high” due to someone special on the guest list who is hoping to attend this year.

During the dinner there will be an envelope draw which will be £20 to enter – you can enter as many times as you like.

There is a courtesy shuttle bus running (only carries 6 Passengers or four golfers and four golf bags) from the hotel to golf course and back. Details sent with your confirmation.
