1st Prize: Overnight stay for 4 people in the K Club with Breakfast, a 4 course evening meal in their award winning restaurant and a round of Golf for 4 people on the Ryder Cup Course.

(Email will be sent with full list of prizes).

We would ask all members to please support the Club Classic. It is a vital weekend with three main objectives:

1) Continue to upgrade Course Machinery. This would be of massive benefit to the club as we spend a huge amount of time and money each year fixing course machinery which unfortunately in some cases is extremely old, by upgrading this machinery it would help reduce this cost and also reduce the amount of downtime waiting for this machinery to be fixed. This will ensure the high standards we have come to expect of the course can be maintained and enhanced.

2) Members Fund Loan - A successful classic will help to repay the members fund loan. This loan ensured the future and security of our club. It is vital we continue to repay these loans so we can continue towards a goal of a debt free club.

3) Fun!!! - We all have endured a particularly tough time since March 2019 and Covid 19 entered our lives. It has dramatically impacted on all basic aspects of our day to day lives. We know how difficult course closures have been on all our members.

We hope the classic is an opportunity to enjoy the course in the fantastic condition it is in, catch up with people you may not have seen in a while and be in with a chance to win a prize.

As much as 1 & 2 are important for financial security we also want all our members and visitors to enjoy the weekend!!

Booking online is available or you can book through the office on 0719667015.

Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you all next weekend!
