Sating Vale appetites via Green Goblin
REDDISH Vale Golf Club members and visitors have enjoyed the ‘Green Goblin’ experience since it was introduced by their steward Gary Inman a few months ago to provide access to refreshments on the course.
Gary said: “The Idea was a result of me thinking of a half way house and after much deliberation I decided that a mobile catering trailer was the answer.
“I looked into it and decided that having one custom-made was the best option, the trailer I had made is light, perfect for use and green!”
