TOGS - Goodwood House - 4th August.
Goodwood House is at the centre of the Goodwood Estate which , of course includes the World famous race course and also the equally renowned motor circuits.The House itself has been the home of The Duke of Richmond and Gordon since the times of Charles II and today is family home to The Earl of March and Kinrara (son of the present Duke). Apart from its sporting history, the House is also home to celebrated paintings by Canaletto and Stubbs and to fine Sevres porcelain and Regency furniture.During the week of our visit there is a special exhibition entitled "The Goodwood House Party" which seeks to recreate the atmosphere of a houseparty in Regency times.

Getting there. Because we are on the fringe of Togmog territory, some people may want to pause on the way or go directly to Goodwood. I have warned Nymans, the National Trust property at Handcross, RH17 6EB that we may drop in for coffee in the morning around 10am- 10 30am.But beware, if you are not a Trust member you can not reach the restaurant without paying the entrance fee.It takes about an hour to drive from Nymans to Goodwood and there are various routes. Please do not travel in convoy. You can , after all , arrive at Goodwood earlier and have a look around the park etc.. Contact Ben for the menu choices and a map of the Estate with the locaton of the Hotel. We go in the Park entrance for the House.
Please let Ben know by Wednesday 21st July whether you are coming along and what your choices are. Ben contact details in Calendar of events or email via review@hopmog.co.uk
