Firstly may I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope that you had a nice and enjoyable break over the Christmas period.

Golf diaries

Please note that the 2009 members golf diaries are now available from the Spike Bar, so next time you are at the club, please speak to a member of the bar team for your diary.

Burns Night Supper

Back by popular demand is the great fun filled and value for money themed event, taking place on Saturday 24th January.

Enjoy a Scottish 5-course dinner plus half a bottle of wine per person, glass of whisky, singing to famous songs by Robert Burns and others with live music during dinner, some informal and some humorous traditional speeches, piper and dancing afterwards all for only £40 per member of members guests.

This is a fantastic fun evening, so even if you haven’t been to a theme night yet, why not bring some friends and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Annual Golf Club Dinner and Dance

Tickets are selling fast for the club's annual dinner dance which is held in the Cromwell Suite at Donnington Valley Hotel and Spa on Saturday 7th March.

The evening is Black Tie, so it's a good opportunity to get all dressed up and enjoy a lovely evening which includes a 3-course dinner, coffee, half bottle of wine and a disco afterwards, plus the Hotel’s Cromwell Bar will be selling drinks at the same prices as the Spike Bar less the loyalty card discount.

You may invite guests to this event and the cost is only £45 per member or members guest.

To book your places please either see Berny Reed 01635 568145 or complete your details on the form which can be found in the Spike Bar.

I leave you with the hope that these freezing temperatures will soon disappear and we can get back to playing the normal course.

All the very best for 2009!
