A round of golf and lunch for three
people at The Richmond Golf Club
Three people can enjoy a round of golf with Phillip Glynn at The Richmond Golf Club. Adjoining Richmond Park and Ham
Common the beautiful award-winning parkland course earned the club first place in the 2012 private club category for
Renovation of the Year with architect Tim Lobb’s stellar transformation of the course bunkers.
At a little under 6,100 yards, the course presents a stiff challenge to golfers of all abilities. Narrow fairways and strategic
bunkering put a premium on pin point accuracy. So, too, do six par 3s, averaging 182 yards in length. Very few golfers,
amateur or professional, match their handicap when they visit. The course record for the current layout now stands at 62,
which has only been broken recently, having been for many years 66, only four under par.
After your game enjoy lunch in the stunning Grade 1 listed, early Georgian clubhouse. A superb lot for any keen golfer.
Available weekdays by arrangement.

A secluded holiday cottage for four people
for three days on the private island of Osea
Step back in time to enjoy a midweek break (Tuesday to Thursday) on the private and genuinely beautiful Osea Island,
just an hour and a half drive from London and located in the magnificent Blackwater Estuary off the coast of Essex.
The whole ethos at Osea is to provide you with an inspiring and secluded environment where you can relax – and
secluded it really is, as this tidal island is only connected to the mainland twice a day for four hours. For the rest of the day
its ancient Roman causeway is beneath the sea’s surface – just one of many magical touches to the place. This is a great
destination for sailing, fishing, cycling, walking, beach lounging or just relaxing with a good book on this peaceful island
with its rich and diverse history, having been occupied for over 5,000 years.
Valid until end June 2017 mid-week subject to availability.

A ballooning experience
for two people in
south east England
A unique opportunity
to take to the skies with
AeroSuperBatics on the
top wing of a biplane at
RFC Rendcomb Airfield
A great opportunity for an experience in a lifetime for a
morning flight, Monday to Friday, from a launch site within
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire,
Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey or Sussex.
If you are feeling adventurous, this is a chance of a lifetime
to take part in a daring, private wing-walking display
at RFC Rendcomb Airfield in Gloucestershire. You will
become a team member of AeroSuperBatics and be
flown by a wing-walking display pilot.
Upon arrival you will be greeted and will register before
a pilot briefing and then if you wish you can help with
the inflation and deflation of the balloon. Your flight will
last about an hour in a Virgin balloon which can take
between 10 and 16 people and there will be a traditional
Champagne toast after.
Impress your friends and family that you bring on the day
to watch you stand on the top wing of a biplane whilst
experiencing a series of flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives
and banks. Certainly worth capturing on film for the future!
The flying season is from March to October with some
regional variations. T&C apply. Valid 12 months from
8 July 2016.
