After our successful outing at Eastbourne Downs in January we travel a few miles down the coast to Brighton to again play on a well drained chalk based course.  We look forward to seeing you on Friday with again a good turnout of 21 for a cold February day on the coast.  A war welcome to James…

We have a good strong field of 26 tempted no doubt by getting up early on freezing cold December morning – nothing to do with the Christmas lunch that follows!!
