Last weekend, from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th October, a large group of 35 club members and wives enjoyed a relaxing and convivial time at the Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel. The hotel is set in grounds of 20 acres, with lawns that slope down to the edge of the Solent, and distant views of the Isle of Wight. The club had been here before - 2 years ago - and the return visit was just as good. Although overcast for most of the time, the weather remained dry and mild.
The Isle of Wight ferry is just a few minutes walk from the hotel, so quite a few members took advantage of this and went to the island, some also taking advantage of the fresh seafood on offer in Yarmouth. There is an excellent market in Lymington on a Saturday, and President Gurdip, along with several other members, hopped on the local train for the (very!) short ride into town.
In the evenings we had dinner in one of the hotel's private dining rooms, enjoying pre-dinner drinks on the first evening courtesy of President Gurdip.
