BGCS 25th Anniversary Meeting at St Andrews
Supplementary Programme
Whilst the St Andrews event is not the only major addition to our usual programme, it has proved to be very popular and seriously oversubscribed.
We have been unable to obtain additional places at certain venues, but are planning a supplementary programme in order provide those members unsuccessful in the ballot, together with any further applicants, the certain opportunity to be in St Andrews concurrently with the original event.
This programme will include joint participation in the Literati meeting, the Museum reception, and the tour of the R & A clubhouse. The package will include round of golf on the Eden course on Thursday afternoon and dinner at a local hotel on the Wednesday and at the Swilken Restaurant on the Thursday. Members will be at liberty to make their own arrangements to join the competitions on Kingarrock, and the Himalayas.
It is anticipated that the cost (excluding Kingarrock and the Himalayas but including Eden green fee, meals and drinks) will be approximately £140. Non golfers will also be welcome at an approximate cost of £80.
If you are interested in this programme, please advise BGCS Hon Secretary, Bob Fletcher, by January 8th 2012 by e-mail at secretary@golfcollectors.co.uk .
When we have a clear picture of the probable numbers in January, we will confirm to you the programme and ask for firm bookings together with a deposit.
