Updated Calendar

Our Committee Secretary Dave Craggs has updated the calendar. I have uploaded the new spreadsheet on the Senior Section Calendar tab.

We have a lot of activities for senior golfers in the next month or two. Please take a look at the calendar. And please add your name to the seniors’ noticeboard for any upcoming activities.

Some dates to remember include:


Wednesday 10 July: Hinson Cup (open to all LGC seniors)

Friday 12 July: Gordon Wood Trophy (open to senior section only)

Friday 2 August: Senior Section Fun game (format to be decided)

Tuesday 6 August: Mitre Cup (Senior section versus ladies section match)

Friday 16 August: Peter Herrity Charity £5 entry (open to senior section only)

Friday 23 August: Chairman’s BBQ, starting at 12:00 (see below)

I will send reminders and further details of each of these events a week or two before them. For the Mitre Cup, look out for the list that will go on the noticeboard soon.

Also coming up are the Padeswood & Buckley event on 4th July, organised by John Hayes. And the Hawkstone Park trip on 23/24 July, organised by Les Williams.

Chairman’s BBQ

This year we are having a BBQ on 23 August, after the Friday match, beginning at about 12:00

Please do attend if you can, to make it a good social get together for our section. Food will be provided from our section funds (burger and salad), and Mike Bennett, our outgoing chairman, will provide some bottles of wine.

Mike will put a list on the noticeboard. Add your name to the list if you intend to join us, to enable us to plan the catering.
