If you want to get fit, have fun and make some new friends then come along as new players are always welcome.  Most people who have joined the Manilva netball team have said the same thing when they started – that they hadnt played since school.  Well it doesn’t take long to remember some of the rules and Ann, Gaye and Jan are there to remind and encourage you.

If you want someone to go with email me at lucy@barrington homes.eu and I will meet you next week as I wont be able to make it tonight?

Sailing in Estepona

Filed under: Local Businesses,Sport — Barrington Homes @ 6:36 pm

I have recently had to organise a team building event for a friend of mine who was in the Duquesa area for a business meeting. Andalucia and the Costa del Sol have a lot to offer with our miles of coastline, mountain ranges and countryside, so I was at a loss or rather I was confused by the choice on offer and where to begin.

That is when ExperienceBox came to rescue and I don´t regret using the Company for second. Rob, my contact was extremely professional, affable and accommodating and took all the stresses of organising an event from me.

Eventually they chose to do a mini regatta from Estepona sailing club, with a team of 16 having a race in 3 sailing boats along the Estepona shore-line. The day ended with Paella and drinks in the Club Nautico in Estepona. The delegates were all fully insured, photos taken and extremely well looked after by Rob and his team. ExperienceBox organize events from 1 person to huge corporate events so even if you are only looking for a special gift for a loved one, Rob and his team can accommodate you. From Cookery Classes in Andalusia to a day racing cars, learning to apply make up or mixing a cocktail there is something for everybody.

Finca Cortesin: A World Championship Golf Course on our Doorstep

Filed under: Local Events & Culture,Sport — Barrington Homes @ 9:10 am

In October 2006, Finca Cortesín Golf Club, Casares Costa, was born with the intention of becoming a reference point on an international level in the world of golf.  In October 2009 Finca Cortesin hosted the VOLVO World Match Play Championship, which was previously a fixture for more than 40 years at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey, UK. It will be hosted at Finca Cortesin again this year on the 19th to the 22nd May. If you have a keen interest in golf then they are looking for volunteers to work at the competition.

The Finca Cortesin course at Casares Costa  is spread over more than 70 hectares where real estate developments do not interfere with the game and as such remain virtually invisible.

Designed by Cabell Robinson, known as one of the world’s top golf course designers, all aspects of this exciting sport have been taken into consideration: topography, dominating winds, the strategy of the game, etc. Gerald Huggan collaborated on the landscaping of the course paying particular attention to the flora. Furthermore, the course was built “following the highest specifications”, as enforced under USPGA guidelines for the creation of greens.

This Casares, par 72 course, measures 6,870m from the professional tees, found ordinarily in the most important courses in the USA. Multiple tees in each hole in addition to its width allow players to enjoy on all levels. The shape of the holes is actually conceived by its natural surroundings.

The course has been adapted to the beautiful Andalucian terrain and its natural flora whilst at all times respecting the majority of the existing vegetation. Furthermore, Finca Cortesin is committed to caring for the environment by means of a conservation program which includes the use of recycled water, to the conservation of the flora and native fauna. To maximise its potential, the club house offers membership to a limited number of 750, in addition to the “Pay and Play” option.
