announce that it has today entered into a  lease to rent, for
#64,000 p.a., land and buildings of Penkridge Golf Club
("Penkridge") until 31st December 2002.  The lessor, Clarendon
House Limited Retirement Benefit Scheme  ("CHLRBS"), has granted
GCH an option to buy the freehold of the property at any time up
to 30th November 2002 for a maximum price of #975,000.   As
consideration for the granting of this option, GCH is issuing to
CHLRBS 800,000 new ordinary shares at 31.5p, the mid market

Penkridge, which will be renamed The Chase Golf Club, is close

golf course, which has been open for over 2 years, a 20 bay golf
range and a part completed clubhouse.  GCH will be fitting out
the clubhouse.  There are already over 300 members.

Penkridge is the seventh golf club in the GCH portfolio and the
second addition this year by GCH.  Wickham Park Golf Club,
purchased in May 1999, is performing ahead of expectations.
