Both editions will be longer than usual to give you more to read during the crisis. This first regular edition starts with memories of VE Day, the 75th anniversary of which was due to be celebrated on 8 May. I am among the dwindling band of people who can remember that event, so I am going to present some memories here which were collated from my school friends when we met up again after (yes, really) a gap of 60 years.

  • Autumn 2016 RECORDER
    BEDFORDSHIRE GC RECORDER AUTUMN 2016 Club News Competition results 125th Anniversary Events Section Reports Board Report Wildlife on the Course Message from the Captain As October draws to a close there seems just enough time to draw breath and reflect on an incredibly busy summer and indeed a seminal year for the Club. Even as a fairly regular attendee at most competitions it has still come as a surprise to me just how much golf the role of Captain seems to attract! There has been a full programme of Club Matches and Mixed Matches in addition to the many and varied internal competitions, all of which have been thoroughly enjoyable as well as providing many entertaining moments. My favourite must be our esteemed Lady Captain informing me at our first Mixed Match, very emphatically, that she does NOT do bunkers. Sadly, this stern ‘advice’ had gone out of the window within 3 holes…… Although the full summer programme of competitions is covered in much more detail elsewhere, two personal highlights stand out for me; firstly, it was a pleasure to present the Veteran’s Plate to such a stalwart of the Club (as well as being my late Dad’s best friend at the club) – Wilf Mannion. He goes to show that this game is for all ages (and handicaps!). Secondly, presenting the Bob Dunbar Trophy to Martin Allen (now a two-time winner) and our very own VC John Simpson was a distinct pleasure – albeit a bittersweet one since my partner Simon Hollands and I were pipped by one shot! The other highlights over the summer were equally worthy of warm memories; firstly, the 125th Ball at the beginning of September was a magnificent way to celebrate such an historic milestone.
