Celtic Manor on 26th August

On 26th August, Tom, Nick and I went up to the Celtic Manor in Newport to see what celebrities we could spot, because of the celebrity golf tournament.

We got there at 10am (ish). We wandered up to the club house, then a little bit further on (up to the trailers etc). We went back to the clubhouse, and had hung around there for about 20 minutes when Chris Evans drove past in a golf cart and said "Bonjour" to us. So we went over to where he was teeing off from and got his autograph, and Jamie Theakston's (who had come out of the clubhouse to see Chris). We decided that we would hang around that area, since any celebrities playing would pass us, and we were also close to the clubhouse, where people obviously start and finish their game.

So we hung around there all day until 3pm (just after the Douglas-Zeta-Jones' arrived and ignored our requests for an autograph. Or rather, their security did), and we wandered down to the hotel for half an hour, where we got a couple more autographs.

Tom and Nick went back again on Saturday, Sunday (and I think Monday), so they got pretty much everyone who was there. My list of autographs from the day's hunting as follows:

Cheryl Ladd (Charlie's Angels) and me.
