For the fourth year running,  we will be staying in the majestic Westminster Hotel in Le Touquet which is simply the best Hotel in Northern France.      As you all know, this hotel is right bang on in the centre of Le Touquet – everything is within walking distance from the Westminster – the casino which is a popular venue for most of our pro am teams! is virtually opposite the hotel and for those “late nighters” there will not be any need to find a taxi  as you can easily walk -  it is just so near “Le Centre Ville”!    However, you ought to know that the Westminster Hotel is fine 4 star hotel in its own right.   The bedrooms are superb.   The leisure facilities are first class with indoor pool, sauna and Jacuzzi (perfect after a round of golf).  There is a full size snooker table which we are sure will be very popular.    The bar is large. There is a great buffet style breakfast included and for those who do not want to travel further than the hotel, there is a fine restaurant Le Pavillon.   There is also ample car parking right in front of the hotel (as well as at the back).   The Westminster has been the fashionable “Rendez Vous” for high society since the 1930’s.   The most stylish hotel in the region.    Le Touquet has a wealth of fine restaurants which will cater for everyone.     Also, everyone we will be under one roof so if you have a problem about anything, Suzy and  John Wright will be right there to help you.   Our Legendary Champagne Cocktail Party will take place at the Westminster on the Tuesday evening and everyone is invited!  “To be seen is to be seen”!    

 

As previously , the golf courses will remain as per previous years – Day 1 and Day 2 at Belle Dune or La Mer and on the final day we shall go up the coast a little to Hardelot Les Pins.        For the last day,   we intend to make a draw for tee times with the top scoring teams and professionals going out at the end of the field.    At the conclusion of play on the last day, all players will be served a decent snack meal and refreshments before they depart for the journey  home.        Due to the timing of this event, we shall have to limit our field to 30 teams and obviously priority will be given to members of the Essex PGA.     As before teams will comprise of 1 Professional and 3 Amateurs. Travel is via the Eurotunnel and hotel accommodation will be at the glorious Westminster Hotel in Le Touquet.       Accommodation is based on  twin room occupancy and will include breakfast.    As before, there will be various optional extras of additional nights, extra golf and single rooms  if you wish – a summary of these details is shown below. 

 

Our Championship will be played  over 54 holes on some fabulous golf courses, namely Hardelot Old Le Pins, Le Touquet La Mer and Belle Dune.    The teams will be split into two groups playing Belle Dune and La Mer on the first two days and then all  teams playing Hardelot Le Pins on the final day.      Our prize giving ceremony will be at the conclusion of play and as detailed above, all players will be provided with a  meal after their last round in the Hardelot LE  PINS superb clubhouse before their journey home.   Those players who wish to travel home once they have had some refreshments may do so but alternatively those wishing to stay on until the conclusion of play are more than welcome to stay.    

 

So, to recap, all players will be staying at the fabulous  4* Westminster Hotel in Le Touquet.      As usual,  we have picked three of the best and certainly the strongest courses in Northern France for you to play.      THERE WILL BE A DRAW FOR PLAY ON THE LAST DAY AND ALL PLAYERS WILL PLAY AT HARDELOT LES PINS (only half an hour at the most from the Tunnel).      The draw will be posted in the Foyer of the hotel so all players will know exactly what  is going on.    Amateur prizes will be in the form of Vouchers this year which should make it more convenient for everyone.          IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THIS WILL BE DECIDED ON THE BACK NINE AT LES PINS.
