W.H. Richardson Trophy- Mixed Canadian Foursomes

This Sunday 26th May, the W.H. Richardson event will be held in the afternoon.

Although the timesheet is closed, if you wish to participate with your mixed pair (golf only), play in the daily medley Canadian foursomes, or enjoy a social 18 holes, please contact the Golf Centre to arrange a booking.

Social tee times will be allocated behind the Mixed Canadian Foursomes field.

Car park - line marking

This is a reminder that next Tuesday, the 28th May, all car parks at the club will undergo line re-painting.

Line marking is scheduled to begin between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m and will continue throughout the day until complete. The work is weather-dependent, and rescheduling will be necessary if rain is forecast, but at this stage, fine weather is predicted so it looks a good day to have the painting done.

This means all car parking on-site will be unavailable from the beginning of the day. We anticipate the temporary inconvenience of parking on the adjoining streets is only necessary until we have these necessary works completed.

The Member’s main car park, the basement car park, and the Staff/Director’s car park will be closed to all vehicles so that the contractors have unfettered access, and then each area will reopen as the paint in the car park dries.

The Member’s car park will be reopening from approximately 11am, with all going to plan. 

For everyone attending the club on the 28th May from early in the morning, the only parking options will be on the adjoining streets, until each parking area reopens during the day. Those arriving at the club in the afternoon should find most of the car parks completed and reopened.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate all Member’s understanding and patience while these improvement works are undertaken.
