I'd be up for this James. Was a member there for a couple of years nearly 30 years ago when getting into golf. Pity my golfing ability hasn't improved since.
It's a good layout and imo, if it was a private members club rather than council run and overplayed, it would be a good match for many other courses in the area.
As Spongy said, best to avoid weekends. 18 holes would be a long enough walk with a full English - after all, it would be rude not to

The breakfast was very nice as was the ham egg and chips after ?

Is it worth looking at fixing a date before everyone's golfing diaries start to fill up?

16th definitely out for me, 6th and 9th could be awkward as I’m at the RAH both evenings.

11th is out and 26th and 27th might be a struggle for me.

Bare in mind that the start of June is the double bank holiday, I think the 30/31 will be impossible to book as lots of people will be taking that week of annual leave.

Sounds good to me James. I'll go with the flow regarding options but the full English, 18 holes, and a late lunch sounds like a good day out to me.
Thanks for organising.

I think that the council considered a 9 hole "crazy golf" around the cemetary after the 1st to match the rest of the course to make the 18, but the local church weren't keen on the idea.

Pretty sure I can do any of the Mondays in June, hopefully be able to fit in a work visit to Biggin Hill whilst I'm down there!

I’ll pick a date on Monday once I’ve checked to see if some tosspot has put any meetings in my dairy

Bit harsh mate; as a 9 hole learner course it wasn't the worst. When I was a youngster the greens were better than a lot of local courses.
