PNWokingham, Paul lives in Wokingham so will advise on best places to eat and drink.

When I worked in Wokingham in the mid 90’s it was famous for being the town with the most pubs per capita in the U.K.

Been there a few times.....great venue. Top course and very relaxed and modern.....hope I can’t make this one!

Great choice

Yes Bearwood Lakes is official. Full details to follow on a new thread shortly. Having played it many times I can only agree with Fish. It is a stunning venue for us. If you haven’t played there for a few years you will be in for a real treat following the improvements. Downside is there is a lot more water on 9, 10, and 13 !!!

Looking at arranging another game on a nearby course either on the Sunday afternoon before H4H or the Tuesday after. Sunday preferred day, but will depend on a course allowing us on. Will keep forumers updated on this one as well.

Booked my week off already 👌👌👌

Wokingham will definitely be the place for refreshments!! The premier inn opened last week so should be great - and it is on the right side of town to Bearwood - not much more than 5 minutes.

travelodge in Binfield where Fish has booked is also fine - 2.5 miles into Wokingham and still easy to get to the course. There is also a premier Inn at Winnersh Triangle - right off the 329M and 5 minutes from the course and 3.5m to Wokingham - very good if coming by train as riight by Winnersh triangle - but the one in Wokingham is also only a 5 minute walk from Wokingham Station and obviously nearer the pubs!!

There are a lot of pubs, curry houses etc in Wokingham so should be fulfill the needs!!

 

[Fish]

To be honest I would change. Not a great Travelodge and nothing adjacent. I would go London Rd, Bracknell RG12 2UT as the town is only 10 minute walk and several pubs adjacent

No thanks, somewhere to simply place me head for a few hours, nothing more, why pay more than £24.99 for a clean bed for 6 hours or less, dependant on how pished I get.

You’re more likely to go up and make a call at 6pm and close you’re eyes for a few minutes......and wake up after a restful 10 hours

Not a prob. With the number of pubs and curry houses in Wokingham I can guarantee you'll going to be comfortably numb and I can see a repeat of how you looked and felt at Camberley Heath a few years back.

I know a good bar with a very good curry house only 20 paces away where I spent a good night with Paul & Zara before, so that’s where I’ll be heading.

Are you allowed back in!!!

 

[Old Skier]

HID just got accepted for Berlin Marathon day before, bugger, twin room at Fish's Travel Lodge booked and paid for if anyone wants to pretend to be me they can have a freebie.

 

[Smiffy]

I'm polishing my shafts up as I type.......no fishing for me that day.
Bearwood Lakes is enough to bring this knob out of retirement.

Hi @richart when can we expect to get an update on cost and/if there'll be an additional course added? Just trying to get all my golf "expenses" for 2020 together so I know roughly what the damage will be and how much I have to spend on my missus to compensate...

Details to follow shortlly, but can confirm golf and food will be £85. This is half the price of a normal society at Bearwood Lakes.

I am setting up justgiving charity site to collect donations. Cost of golf and food will be collected over the next nine months in instalments rather than payment in full on the day. Should hopefully help with finances and also save time on the day.

Hasn't it occurred to you that we might be lying about the venue so we may all play somewhere else?

I didn’t know it was the official “gang up against the poor Swede day” today!

You’re so old you won’t remember where this unofficial venue is anyway, so see you at Bearwood! ?

"Poor Swede" ??

Not after the money you'd have taken from swindle wins at your place I reckon ?

Not wrong though about age mate ......... see you at West Hill ?
