Like other clubs in England, the course is now open for 2-ball golf but, with no clubhouse facilities or catering, is unable to offer the normal service for visiting societies. The committee has taken the view that we cannot expect our members to travel some distance to participate on that basis and the chance of restrictions being eased in order to offer more by that date look highly unlikely. We had explored other dates this year with Copt Heath Golf Club and they have kindly offered us, Postponement until later this season, until 2021, or cancellation.  [...]

"The ever lengthening forecasts of ‘COVID -19 doom and gloom’ prompted us to check with Hankley Common regarding our original booking for the Spring Meeting on 12 May.  While no decisions had been made the forecast was understandably not looking good. We have therefore discussed the matter with our sponsor, John Maguire who has agreed that we should rebook for Wednesday 19th August 2020 which we have now done. The 'Spring' Meeting will now be held on Wednesday 19th August 2020. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed!  If things do not improve [...]

Sadly, it will come as no surprise to you to be told that we have decided to cancel the forthcoming Member’s Meeting and AGM scheduled for 15 Apr.  Like many clubs, BGC has offered the golf course but little else. As a Golf Society we cannot expect members to travel some distance just for a round of golf and a brief chat outside (weather permitting).  We thought about a postponement but our programme is quite full so I’ve cancelled the meeting and carried over the deposit and booking to Tuesday 13 Apr 2021.  Those who’ve sent [...]

Dear Members,It is with great sadness that I pass on the news that Mike Willis died on 20 August 2018. He’d been ill for some time and put up a brave fight. Mike will be remembered by many as a regular supporter at our events, particularly our Golf Tours. Typical of Mike are the attached photos from Hardelot which also featured another great character, Hugh Heap, before he emigrated to Australia and died a few years ago.I said to Mike’s son James that I’m sure Mike would not have wanted his funeral to clash with our [...]

The Summer Meeting was supported by Artko (thanks to Michael Pestereff) and Britannia Bureau (Mark Taylor), organised by Richard Burgess and attended by 14 members and 3 guests. The course was in excellent condition - but very dry - so we were all hitting long but then unable to stop it on the green! The Club made us feel very welcome and the catering lived up to their high reputation. We were delighted to welcome John Sanderson back to the fold on an outing from his home now in Scotland. The prize-winners were: nearest the [...]

Despite a major calendar clash with several important industry events, 21 members and guests were able to attend the Spring Meeting at Hankley Common Golf Club on 15th May. They were rewarded with not just a wonderful golf course in excellent condition, but also fine, dry weather and great camaraderie. The meeting was efficiently organised by Brian Allen and was generously sponsored once again by Narrow Aisle (thanks to John Maguire).  The Club’s hospitality and service was excellent and the choices offered at the carvery lunch were just too tempting! Probably [...]
