From a Party
Organiser:
Hi
Jane,
Everyone had a lovely evening and I received some very complimentary
comments from our guests on how nice both the food and atmosphere
were. All the staff were polite and helpful, especially the lady
with the pink hair to whom my daughter is extremely grateful for the
help with setting up!
I would have no reservations about using you again myself or
recommending you to others.
Thanks for everything.

From the Secretary of
a Golf Society:
Hi Gary,
Just wanted to leave you
a quick note on behalf of the society thanking everyone in
the team at West Hove for their assistance in making it such an
enjoyable day. Pauline and Jane were so helpful when sorting all
aspects of the booking, food tasty and well presented, Harvey�s in
the bar superb! Course in great condition considering the downpour
the previous evening. I know am a member, but if all society
bookings receive the same excellent service (and I�m sure they do)
then it�s of great credit to our club.
Kind regards and best
wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all the staff at West Hove.

From a visiting Golf Club Past
Captain:
Hi
Gary,
I
must confirm our conversation of earlier today and express my
gratitude for arranging golf for our group of Vets at short notice
and at such a good price.
Without exception, everyone, not only enjoyed the day but could not
stop talking about the condition of your course. It has stood up to
the recent bad weather so well, both the greens and fairways are in
fantastic condition and your green staff should rightly be proud of
their work.
Testament to this is that a member of our party, a previous Course
Director at our club went round in four over gross and led his team
to victory by amazing 18 points.
It
was really nice that three West Hove Past Captains saw fit to
welcome us and your staff in the bar were helpful as always.
Thank you again for delivering the "West Hove experience".
Kind
Regards

rolls, and timings were spot on. Your staff were very attentive and
nothing was too much trouble, we were suitably impressed!!
Thank you again, I do very much hope that we can use your facilities
again in the near future

From a Bride and
Groom
after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :
Dear Jane,
West Hove Golf Club made
my day. Jane promised she would do her best in making my wedding day
special and I have to say she achieved much more than I was
expecting!! I am a very organised person and I was scared to give
out the setting up of the venue to someone as they can't see what my
mind had planned and what it should look like. As I got to know Jane
my fears soon vanished as much as they could for a bride anyway!! I
could tell Jane was going to be organised, symmetrical and know what
she was doing. These are things that you could maybe expect from
someone in Jane's position but I didn't expect to feel like she had
so much time for me when I needed her advice/help. My biggest shock
was when Jane took some of the pressure off me by helping organise
when contractors could come to set up and to go through with each
person from the drape hire to the photo booth.
I dropped all of the
items off to Jane the day before my amazing wedding day and I did
not see or speak to her until the time I walked in to the reception
room and I was blown away by how well it was all done. It was so
well set up you would have thought a bride had done it because it
looked so perfect, as if a lot of heart and thought had gone into
everything. You need someone you can trust to help you with your
wedding day, to give that job of setting up your room as you are too
busy to do it yourself and I can tell you Jane is the one.
The venue itself is
beautiful. First of all you drive to the venue and you actually
can't believe how close it is to the dual carriage way as it's so
green and you don't hear the traffic. Then as you walk in to the
Clubhouse you see a beautiful staircase which was a strong point for
me I really thought it was like a fairytale wedding. Up the
staircase through the doors you then get blown away by the views,
they really are incredible.
The food, well what can
I say! Try a taster and it speaks for itself! The flavours in your
mouth, it tastes so good you don't know when to stop!! You can go
and have food up there as we did and you can tell you are going to
get a delicious meal as we did. Clay the catering manager is very
happy to meet with you and go through ideas. We had new ideas on our
menu and they went down a treat, we had lots of compliments. Brides,
make sure you have a taster as you won't get much down you on the
day and you'll regret not having any after everyone tells you how
lovely it is!!
I don't have time to go
in to all of the finer details but I would like to say a massive
thank you to Jane, Clay and all of the team there that helped with
my wedding day. I wouldn't have changed a single thing and that's
saying something. If you want someone to support you and make you
feel like you can achieve a fantastic day for you and your guests
Jane's the lady. If you want to make sure your guests are not
complaining about being hungry, Clay and his team are your guys. And
if you want a venue with a view and plenty of space then West Hove
Golf Club is your place. Good luck to any future Mr and Mrs and all
the best to everyone at West Hove Golf club that made my day.

'On behalf of our ten elderly guests and drivers I would like to

us so well and those who work in the kitchen. We all enjoyed a
lovely lunch, the food was excellent and the service was second to
none with nothing being too much trouble, the staff were friendly
and accommodating. We came once before last year and found the same,
hence our return for a special treat. Due to the frailty of many of
our guests, lunch at West Hove Golf Club is perfect, with help as
needed at the Carvery. Thanks especially to Julie who looked after
us so well.'

From a Bride and
Groom
after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :
Thank you so
much Jane for all your hard work .......getting the room ready for
Tara and Jon's wedding!!!
You must have been exhausted carrying all the table decorations and
placing them in exactly the right places!!
There did seem to be a lot of them ....and we did feel a bit guilty
about that!
It really did look fantastic though ......compared to when we left
it on Friday night.....when we were all so tired!
We spoke to Tara and Jon this evening and they said they were
speechless when they opened the door!!
You really did them proud.... and as you said it was lovely for them
to see it first!!
Your advice about the table crystals and post box was much
appreciated too....as these small extra things made a difference and
we probably wouldn't have thought of them!!
We also have had very complimentary feedback from the guests about
the meal which was delicious and beautifully served!!
Certainly we were very pleased with our choice of venue and wouldn't
hesitate to recommend it to others!!
We meant to mention that we found someone's red tie the following
morning....so if someone was looking for it and left their details
...we could return it. Hope we are not too late on that one!!
Once again Jane thank you for all your help......Brilliant!!

From the organiser of
a large Private Party
"We just wanted to say an absolute massive thank you for all you did
to make our work party exceptional. We did make lots of changes at
the last hour but nothing was too much trouble and everything run
100% smoothly on the night. Everyone was extremely accommodating and
could not do enough for us. The table layouts looked amazing and the
room was perfect for our arrival. The ambience was amazing.
We have visited many venue's over the years and 103 people are all
saying that this the was the best yet. Clay and his team provided
the best food we have ever had. Every course was totally delicious.
Everyone is still talking about the chocolate brownie and it has
"gone famous " by being the most photographed item on our own Facebook
page!
The waiting staff and the bar staff worked so hard all night and
were the politest we have every met. Please thank them all
personally from all of us. We appreciate all that everyone did for
us. We could not have asked for anymore.
The disco at the end really topped off a brilliant night.
I would highly recommend anyone to hold a party/work function here.
We will 100% be coming again."

I just wanted to write to you and say a massive thank-you for all of
your help in making our Wedding Day so wonderful.
Jane - for dealing with all my concerns, queries and making the room
look beautiful, it was perfect. Exactly how I wanted it.
Clay + Catering Team - for their outstanding food, I must say I had
many compliments about the main meals and buffet. You did a great
job, I couldn't fault it; I just wish my appetite was better on the
day, I think the nerves got the better of me, I would have stuffed
my face it was that scrummy.
And thanks to everyone else, who helped in making my day one to
remember. I would definitely recommend to people having a wedding
(reception) at West Hove Golf Club.
Thanks Again
Kind Regards"

"Hi Gary
Just a quick line to tell you that I arranged for a party of 10 to
meet and eat in the restaurant at West Hove Golf Club
yesterday. From the time of our arrival, the catering staff were
fabulously smiley, helpful and courteous. The lovely white
table-cloths, cutlery and presentation was fantastic and the food
simply superb; plentiful, beautifully cooked, wholesome and so very
tasty that it was difficult to stop eating. The whole setup was as
good as any restaurant in town. Please convey our comments to the
caterers.
Yours sincerely"

after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :
"Dear Jane and the
team at West Hove Golf Club.
We are writing this with massive thanks for all Jane, Clay and the
team did for us on our wonderful wedding day June 8th 2013.
We had the perfect day, venue was amazing, the welcome from Jane and
all the team and staff so welcoming. The day was gorgeous not a
cloud in the sky.
The food was so excellent, we had the best food Clay and the team
gave us, a wonderful three course meal, the attention to detail
fantastic. From the chilled salmon starter to the slow roast lamb
and chocolate torte, all mouth watering. The service from Clay's
team was friendly and they were all very happy to help us with
everything.
From the first day I emailed Jane she has been a constant source of
knowledge and guided me through our day step by step, even being
there on the day to welcome us all in and hand us our Champagne, I
do not know what I would have done without her always ready to speak
to us on the phone and give us guidance the week before.
I would recommend the golf club to any couple to have their perfect
day, your professionalism was apparent throughout our whole
experience.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks and we can honestly say that all
our guests have phoned and written to say it was simply
exceptional."

Thank you Gary Salt for all your help in organising and preparing
the course and tee times.
We had a putting competition which raised �69 and a massive raffle
with generous donations by all my friends which in total we raised
�800. My Dad's charity was the Salvation Army and The Martlets
Hospice
(�400 each).
I would like to say thank you again to everyone who was involved.
This will be an annual event and hope to see everyone again next

Charity Golf Day
I wish to thank your staff and members for their vigilance and
honesty.
As you know I managed to lose three personal items over the day all
of which were handed back to me before the football had started that
evening.

the credit for restoring my faith in the human race. Thank you also
for putting on a memorable day for all of those attending.
Kind regards,

With this history I am well aware of the essential nature of

"Many thanks to you
and your team for all your help in making our meeting yesterday a
success. The catering was very well received and the set up of the
room was great � just what we wanted.
It may be possible that we will want to use your room more
frequently in the future if possible, so can I please ask you to let
me know the cost to hire your room for half a day and also a full
day?"

From the parents of a bride whose reception was held at West Hove GC:
"Everything went to plan and the table layouts, decorations etc.
looked perfect on our arrival. Clay provided an amazing buffet which
received enormous praise from our guests. It was truly a feast fit
for a bride and groom. It was delicious and so beautifully
displayed. The reception could not have run so smoothly without the
help of other members of the catering team.... Thank you also to
the barman who worked very hard all evening. Thank you for being so
amenable to the decorators, DJ, florist and photographers. West Hove
Golf Club is a wonderful venue to hold a celebration and we will
spread the word."

AND SOME COMMENTS FROM VISITING GOLFERS!

From the SCLGA Division 1 Secretary
"On behalf of the County I would like to thank you and everyone at
West Hove Golf Club for making Thursday such a happy and successful
day. Everything turned out superbly and even the heavy rain in the
afternoon could not spoil the occasion. We were all made to feel
very welcome.
Our special thanks to you, Gary, for your superb preparation and
organisation which ensured the day ran smoothly; to the Lady Captain
Rita for giving up her time to spend the whole day with us even in
such a busy year and proving a wonderful ambassador for your Club.
It was a delight to work with her.
Please convey our thanks to your 'flower lady' for her beautiful
floral arrangement in County colours. All the 'ball spotters' did
sterling work looking after our players over many hours, could you
pass on our grateful thanks and appreciation. I believe Andy Page
used his influence to encourage some of the Seniors to help which
was great!
Would you pass on our thanks to Clay and his Catering Staff for
being so helpful in providing an appetizing menu and your Greens
Staff for the presentation of the Course in a challenging but fair
way.
I have already presented you with a cheque from SCLGA as a thank you
for hosting our event and hope that we will be able to hold future
events at your Club in coming years."
Yours sincerely
Joan Jarman
SCLGA Division 1 Secretary

From the Lady Captain of a
visiting Golf Club
"Our
exchange of emails were a good investment of time for the
preparations paid off with a first class outing for the ladies of
our G.C. Many of them made complimentary remarks on the condition of
West Hove course as well as on the food and its presentation. But
more; providing the two gentlemen as starters and the Lady Captain
taking the trouble to welcome us are the personalised touches that
make for distinction.
Please be sure to convey our thanks to the staff; with the fine
weather it was a perfect day and some respectable scores were
returned. Once again, many thanks for a perfect day."
