Annual Golf Day 2026

We are now organising the annual Wymondham College Golf competition and subsequent dinner.
It will be on Friday 26th June at Dunston Hall.
This year we will sit down to dinner a bit earlier at 6.00pm so that those who live locally and drive to the venue will be able to drive home whilst it is still light.
Tee times will be 12.00 noon and so that it does not preclude the less fit the trophy will be judged on the first nine holes. There is no reason why those who wish to play the full 18 holes.
The golf package with a round of golf, tea or coffee and a bacon roll will be £40 per person.
The three course dinner will be £35.00 per person.
The menu can be seen here.
If you intend to stay at the hotel over night please contact the reception on 020 3027 6614 or via their web site.
At this stage do not send me any money or menu choices.
Just let me know the number coming; whether golf and dinner or just golf.
