ACCOMMODATION
Oswestry Tourist information website has a very good list of Hotel and Bed & Breakfast accommodation including cost see link below:

As you probably know I have been a member ever since its inception and attended the last dinner held two years ago (they are held every 2 years). It was a brilliant and memorable occasion even though the very few Green Jackets that were there (only 3 of us with our wives) were vastly outnumbered by the Jocks and wooden tops. If I remember rightly over 300 sat down for the dinner!

 

It really is a wonderful occasion and it would be fantastic if we could get at least a table of Green Jackets together for 2013.

 

If anyone would like to know more I am perfectly happy to supply the detail via my normal email address at johnfd@o2.co.uk, and if they would like to see what we have been up to over recent years then there is some value looking at our website.

Kind Regards

 

John
