Help 4 heroes 2014 General Comments

Re: Help 4 heroes 2014 Official Thread

Just paid £45 plus gift aid. Day booked off (and day after if there's another game) and hoping for a trip somewhere the day before too like Blackmoor. Looking forward to seeing Mr Harris on a serious refuelling mission after!

That's me paid up, anyone know any good sun dances, I need to get the course dried out so I can get out there and play.

Less than a mile and a half walk home for me!

Nice course for those who haven't played it with some very good looking holes and for the most part not too tight I don't think compared to West Hill or Blackmoor.

I would have joined there but a; they out the joining fee back up to circa £3k from £1k and b; the membership can be a bit cliquey - most people I know who are members there play in their own small groups only and there was apparently not a good response recently when they tried doing drawn comps.

Generally in very good condition and although it's been closed a bit recently it generally drains very well. (I'm really hoping we're not still worrying about that by then:confused:)

There's a Premier Inn about half a mile away towards Fleet town centre and some rooms above a pizzeria / pub called The Station the same distance (although I'd avoid eating there if my last visit was anything to go by). These are also right next to train station if not coming by car.

There's also a Travelodge / Harvester back up towards the motorway junction but then you wouldn't really be in striking distance of other pubs / restaurants.

That's me paid up and booked in the Travelodge, at £26 to park your head the night before for a fresh start, its a no brainer.

Deposit paid and Travelodge booked.

All I have to do now is book the time off, it was easier when I was still working nowadays I have to clear it with the real Guv'nor. "Yes dear, just coming........"

What hotels are people kipping in? Seems daft being spread all over when we could meet up for a beer in the hotel or nearby hostelry and a curry as last year.

Then wander to nearest pub & curry house, need some local intelligence :whistle:
 
Re: Help 4 heroes 2014 Official Thread

Just found a Harvester almost next door called the Tree House for a few beers and The Gurkha Square has excellent reviews for an Indian Restaurant. Fleet road across from the golf course is littered with places :thup:
