Help For Heroes 2017 Hankley Common 13th September

Is this still open then Rich? I guess list opens when you or @Fish create the JustGiving page in a couple of months.

And - not having gone through the posts - a Premier Inn has now opened in Farnham.

And happy to host at my place - Farnham GC - on the Tuesday before or Thursday after.

Yes it's still open, once the JG site is operational we will then take the initial donations which secure your place, it's then cash on the day for the balance which goes direct to the club for your golf & meal.

That is great Hugh. I am sure there will be a lot of interest in a game at Farnham, so will keep in touch with you on that one.:thup:
 
Some, hopefully useful Hotel info

Been looking into the hotels in the nearby area close(ish) to Hankley Common and have collected the below:-

Premier Inn, in Farnham, Hotel has a restaurant, free WIFI and more importantly for me free parking onsite and a beefeater next door if you didn’t want to eat in the hotel restaurant.
This Hotel is:- 5 miles or 14mins* from Hankly Common GC

Travel Lodge in Frimley, eating is next door at the Toby, there is no free WIFI but there is plenty of parking.
This Hotel is:-13.6 miles or 25mins* from Hankly Common GC

Travelodge at Aldershot, you can eat at the hotel, there is no free WIFI and parking has to be paid for offsite
This Hotel is:- 7.4 miles or 19mins* from Hankley Common GC

Travelodge at Fleet, eating is next door at the Pub/Restaurant, there is no free WIFI but there is plenty of parking
This Hotel is:- 16.1 miles or 26mins rom Hankley Common GC

Travelodge at Farnborough Central, you can eat at the hotel, there is no free WIFI and parking has to be paid for offsite
This Hotel is:- 10.4 miles or 27mins from Hankley Common GC

*Times taken from Google Maps at non-rush hour

There are loads of other hotels and B & B, but I've only looked at Premier Inns and Travelodges as you know pretty much what you're going to get.
 
Thanks for the above info, what I don't like about the Premier Inn is, it is showing as fully booked for a single night 12th to 13th but miraculously you can book for 2 or 3 nights covering those dates :mad:

Travelodge Aldershot I can stay 2 nights for almost a single night rate as some other hotels in the area and £65 cheaper than the Premier Inn :eek: after all, it's only somewhere to park the head on a pillow.

For those newbies and those just seeing this thread, please also take a look at the annual Curry & Merriment thread HERE, a great pre-golfs entertainment night to break the ice and meet some forumers not in their normal golfing persona, some of them actual come across quite human :smirk:
 
I heard that Maison Hart is doing very reasonable rates and is only a few mins from the course.

The owner is a bit 'Fawlty Towers' though :o

I hear yer on the Travelodges prices, but I didn't fancy not being able to park close to the Hotel and then having to pay on top and then you have to hump all your gear to the hotel, I'm not getting any younger. I know it's another meet and thread, but I might even be an auld fart this year. So I don't mind paying that little bit more for some luxury while away from home.

This Premier Inn is playing more fairly and for 2 nights is only £10 p/night more than the Travelodge but with the added bonus of the car park right outside the hotel which can be a bonus as you rightly point out for you old 'uns :smirk:

However, the Aldershot Travelodge does have free parking in the Morrisons Supermarket alongside in the shopping complex with a direct lift access which is similar to what I had in Cleveland with the Holiday Express and was very secure and accessible.
 
Fish, how do you sign up for this? Its clearly for a great cause and happens to be on the day that I become a senior golfer (I'm older than I look, honest :))

Mate,
Rich or young Fish will set up a just giving page and you pay on there to confirm your place. It is a cracking day for a very good cause. Look forward to seeing you there.

Please see the earlier post from the 'Young' ..... Robin- the-'Sprat' 🤣🤣
 
I will put up a new thread tomorrow with details of the justgiving charity site.

IT will give details I will need on the justgiving site, so please wait for these details before making your donations.
