ERE Gold Day

You've heard of the Bob Hope Classic Golf Tournament, well "ERE" comes of age this year as it has it's own golf tournament. Rugby fans from across the West Country are invited to attend the "ERE Gold Day"; to enjoy a spot of golf, sink a few beers and generally have a good laugh.

The "ERE Gold Day" will be held at Farrington Golf & Country Club (10 miles SW of Bath, near Midsomer Norton) on Monday April 14, 2003 and it will be backed by Bath's main sponsor, Blackthorn which means there should be plenty of booze on the prize table!

Tournament organiser Tony Harrison said "I have already been in touch with Bath coach Michael Foley who said that he will arrange for a Bath player to attend, and I am hoping to get a player from our other locals clubs, Glawster and Bristol. I hope to have a few signed shirts on the prize table along with a few odds and sods provided by Blackthorn, and we will have a raffle for a few fun bits."

Calling this a tournament is a bit far fetched but I just wanted to say "ERE" has a tournament named after it. "The emphasis is on having a great day, and not on winning a two-week cruise to the Bahamas - thus the rather low entry fee." said Harrison. "Anyone who wants to play should e-mail me as soon as possible on toneharrison@btinternet.com."

A number of people have already said they will attend the event but have not confirmed to Tony their attendance, if you are going to play please confirm as soon as possible to help the arrangements.

The club is also open to the public, so none golf players can come up after the event and meet friends.

The approximate start time will be 1pm, and the cost will be £30 per person, to include coffee on arrival, 18 holes, and ham, eggs and chips or similar after the game.
