Peter Wilkinson
The BDRGA committee are saddened to announce the passing of former secretary, BDRGA President, YRGA President and Shipley GC President, Peter Wilkinson. Peter was a valued, and longstanding, member of the BDRGA committee he will be greatly missed by all.
Terry Walker
It is with great sadness that the BDRGA announce the passing of our staunch supporter and former president, Terry Walker. Terry was a force to be reckoned with, setting up the fund raising efforts that have kept the BDRGA on a sound financial footing over the last decade. His accident at Baildon golf club came just as he was getting back to playing golf after complications from his knee replacement surgeries. The accident meant he could no longer play golf but his enthusiasm for the Bradford and Yorkshire areas meant he continued to attend many meetings and helped in the running of our competitions. He will be greatly missed, our thoughts are with Joan and the rest of his family at this incredibly sad time.
2020 Competitions Suspended
A message from our secretary
Over the past few days I’ve been attempting to put together a framework for how the BDRGA events and matches should proceed in 2020. Every time I’ve felt that I had it right, the situation has changed – and never for the better.
Unfortunately we now have to conclude that the only sensible course of action is to suspend all competitions (including the League and Chippendale) until further notice. If circumstances change, we will be in touch with you.
Stay well: play golf if it’s safe for you to do so and we hope that you and your families remain healthy.
Very best wishes,
Peter Magee
Secretary, BDRGA
