IN OUR OPINION
The Arnhem Whitsun Cup is played in a lovely setting in the north of the city, just 3 miles from the famous ‘Bridge Too Far’. Places are limited so early bookings are essential.
We all really enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. We are thinking again for next
year at the Arnhem Whitsun Cup. Many thanks for all your help, it was a great end to our season.
