This year’s match is being played at the excellent Fulwell golf club, where last year we held the Baltic Company Cup and everyone agreed they were the best greens we played all year.

Smart casual dress code in club house (i.e. no jacket & tie required). After the meal the William Adams trophy will be presented to the winning team.

BEGS v Cardiff Exchange G.S.
NOTE: New dates for this match.
This year’s match is being held at the Oxfordshire and the dates have moved from the traditional mid May to mid October. The switch was necessitated due to other clashing events which meant the Cardiff team were struggling with potential players. BEGS is very grateful to the Oxfordshire for their flexibility.
We were unable to secure suitable tee time for Sunday greensomes. so this year’s match is 2 rounds on Friday & Saturday, staying 2 nights with dinner and breakfast included. Total cost basis 2 people sharing is £399/player. Those preferring a single room it is £65 per person per night extra.
We have a firm 11 players and some in reserve, so likely we should manage to field a 12 man squad. It is not essential to play both days, so even if it is for 1 day/round it might still help the manager if you register your availability.

ANNUAL DINNER
After the season is completed the Society holds an annual dinner which is black tie dress code. To properly celebrate our 125th Anniversary the venue is the iconic Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall. We have endeavoured to keep the ticket price as reasonable as possible taking into consideration that costs keep rising in the hospitality sector and the magnificent venue.
It would be greatly appreciated if members could order their tickets some weeks in advance so that all necessary security and menu choices can be sorted/confirmed well before the event.
Ticket pricing:
Current working broker and all guests - £115 each
Retired members - £95 each
For any questions please contact Hon Sec on info@BEGS.uk
