Some Information If You are attending the Southport National
The Cafe is Open:- from about 7:00 'til around 6:00pm serving hot food and drinks as well as a few sweets and cans of pop. There will the usual "stand pipe" arrangement for cold water throughout the weekend
Toilets:- as usual the clubhouse toilet facilities will be available from around 6:30am through to around 9:00pm, thereafter there will be toilets outside the clubhouse.
Speed Limit:- for real cars across the field is 2mph
Entrances to the park:- There are 2 ways directly into the park.
do not use the entrance near the boating lake that takes you past the childrens playground. The entrance to the park is the "middle" one by the garden centre. However if it is very wet, then this entrance becomes waterlogged so please be careful - we will have measures in place to (hopefully) cope with this eventuality.

I think that is all the information that you need for the time being, If I have missed something obvious, please let me know. I have recently changed my mobile phone, so the number you have for me on the national information pack is no longer valid - my new phone number is
