Why Fonmon for 2008?
There are several activities afoot to open new courses around Wales.
In particular, the opening of Draig Goch's course in September 2007
increased speculation that this would be the venue for the 2008 National
Championships. We did consider hosting the tournament outside Fonmon but
the decision was eventually taken to host once again at our flagship
course. This was for two main reasons. Firstly, being close to Cardiff
International Airport, the infrastructure is very good both in terms of
transport links and local accommodation. The other reason is that the
amount of work that would have been needed to get potential other courses
ready for the tournament would leave us short of time. Of course, the
challenge of the Fonmon course is one of the main factors that draw
competitors in for this, our premier event of the year!

Evening Meal on Saturday 20th of April
The traditional evening meal will be taking place again this year and the venue is The Green Dragon Inn as per last year.
After the success of the previous two years we feel that keeping the same format will make for a good evening.
The menu will be confirmed shortly and posted on this page.
