RAF Leuchars Air Show at The Duke’s Clubhouse
Following the Success of last years BBQ we are delighted to announce that we will be repeating the event this year. Please enjoy Ralph’s blog from 2011
Hi folks, Ralph here again. I am very much looking forward to another great event in Fife, the RAF Leuchars Air Show on Saturday 10th September 2011. It’s fantastic to watch all the air display, my personal highlight this year will be the Vulcan display, it really is very impressive to watch. Watching the air show takes me back to when I was a wee laddie and I used to dream of flying a fighter plane!
This year The Duke’s Clubhouse at Craigtoun will host a family BBQ offering scrumptious BBQ food and spectacular views of the air show with the added bonus of missing the heavy traffic on the A91. The Duke’s will lay on a real five–star feast for guests including a succulent spit roasted piglet with apple sauce, sensational sausages, homemade burgers and organic salmon and trout. And for those with a sweet tooth, there will be an array of summer deserts including lemon tart with Fife raspberries and Scottish Berries with clotted cream. Just typing it is making my mouth water!
View from The Duke's Clubhouse
From its location high above St Andrews The Duke’s Clubhouse offers the perfect view point for the air show. The floor to ceiling windows and balcony expose the breath-taking views of the town of St Andrews over to Dundee and across the North Sea. There’s no need to worry if it rains as there is plenty of space indoors and we have the perfect sheltered spot for the BBQ. All in all it promises to be a wonderful family day out.
Tickets for the event cost just £25.00 per person -half–price for children – and are on sale from events@oldcoursehotel.co.uk or by calling 01334 474371.
If you do head along to The Duke’s for the Air Show then please do take some photos and post them on our Facebook page. As always I love to hear your comments and suggestions.
Take care
Ralph
