to get everyone together (including me!), whether you’re a FFS member or you
wanted to try something new with like minding ladies. This is a perfect way to get out
in the fresh air and do something different whilst being refreshed and rejuvenated.

a great way to escape for a day for some well deserved ‘ME’ time, in a beautiful
place with some lovely ladies.

Christmas with the big concrete balls! She has competed in 2 World Championships with a 3rd later

Hi I’m sonya and own Eagle Mill with my husband Sam, Jack our 8 year old son and two dogs Bella and Cally.
We have been running Eagle Mill, a luxury boutique B&B for the past 9 years, achieving a rating of 9.7 and above during this time with fantastic reviews.
I’m passionate about what I do and this is reflected in the luxury decor and furnishings of each room. However, this is not my full time role. I am also committed to branching out into new ventures and supporting local businesses. We are delighted to form a partnership with Hannah and Katie, and are confident of having a successful event.
