M AY 2 0 1 5

Welcome to

The Kennels’ Calendar of Events I am delighted to share with you our first chapter of exciting events for 2015. We have an array of events planned for the coming months; from culinary and craft classes, musical delights, dining experiences and of course the return of firm favourites; there is something for everyone.

With Christmas now fading into the distance, it is time to get excited about all that 2015 has to offer, including some great events at The Kennels. For the keen sporting enthusiasts, share in the passion of Six Nations Rugby or for the ladies, why not learn to play golf if you’ve never taken the plunge.

Don’t forget, The Kennels is your home from home so we hope to see you between events enjoying a bite to eat in the restaurant, sipping a drink next to the roaring fire or catching the first spring rays of sunshine on the terrace.

We look forward to seeing you at your clubhouse soon.
