This piece about the woodwork shop at Phoenix House was shown on the local BBC last week.

Finally managed to watch and hear the piece. Brilliant, can we have a forum rocking horse ?;) Amazed at the quality of the work, and the benefits the wood shop provides. Hope our connection with Phoenix House continues to grow, as the wood shop provides stunning pieces for our charity day. :thup:

Rich, what time do you normally have everything wound up for?

Im just considering travel options
Not too sure to be honest, as I am usually the last to leave, and that is well into the evening.:eek:

We are playing half an hour later this year, so I would think around 17.00-18.00. Food around 15.30-16.00 followed by auction and prize giving. It does tend to go on a bit, as we can't get Robin to stop talking !!!:D

Hopefully someone that played this year can confirm.

Will drive back after Liphook as I am hopeful its going to be quiet on the M25 :mad:

Thanks pal, might consider flying back home on the Tuesday afterwards then. Is an hour reasonable to get to Heathrow. Google maps suggest 46 minutes but I reckon thats unrealistic.

An hour from Liphook to Heathrow with no traffic. A3 around Guildford is a bit of a pig at rush hour, though you will probably be going against most of the traffic. M25 though is another matter.:eek: the later you leave the quicker the journey, so if you could get a late flight you should be ok. Probably some on here that use the M25 will be able to advise more, but it alwys seems to be down to 40 mph when I use it, which basically means it is at a stand still.

LQ, it depends on what time you are on the M25 but the junctions between Heathrow & the A3 are pretty shocking at rush hour (which seems to be between 7.30 & 10 in the morning and 4-7 in the evening)

If you are on the last flight out of Heathrow you will be ok leaving at six provided there is no major accident.

What about Gatwick?????
Probably 10 or 15 miles extra distance, but going across country from Liphook takes out the M25 lottery and you know give or take 10mins its a 60 odd minute drive and only about 40miles. ( sat nav would probably send you back up the A3 and round the bottom of M25)

Liphook to Heathrow early evening may take an hour, but could just as easily take two plus.
I use it every day and you really are in the hands of the traffic gods, my 45 mile one way commute can take 45 minutes or 3 hours and everywhere in between.

Fixed that for you; J8 - J9 is a car park most mornings before 7 when I pass over it. :mad:

Can't see us leaving Liphook till 7.30 in the evening so should get to the M25 for 8.15ish so hoping its not a car park at that time.

I know going to Cuddington last year was incredible round Heathrow, car park was an understatement.

I'm in for this and will book a hotel shortly.

Probably do what I did after Sunningdale this year, book the night after H4H but get up about 4am and thunder up the road before any traffic builds up!!

I'm in for a game Monday at West Hill and possibly Sunday aswell if possible/room anywhere :thup:

Put me down for this please if there is still space.
Plenty of room at the moment. Do you want to play at West Hill on the Monday ? If so put your name down on Glyn's thread. The first time 48 places have been taken, but he will open up a couple more tee times shortly.

I think you might have been put down for West Hill by Liverbirdie ?
