BMRA Golf Day and Summer Dinner - 4 July

The golfers ready for the shotgun start

The sun shone over Edinburgh and there was a warm Scottish welcome on Monday 4 July as the BMRA Golf Day and Summer Dinner returned after a two-year COVID enforced break.

A sell-out on the course, 20 teams lined up for a shotgun start on the Championship East course at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Kirknewton.

Images from the day are available for members to download here.

Sue Howell of Wye Valley Metals. Thank you to Sue for her time on the board and work as treasurer on behalf of the Association. You can read an interview with Harry in a future edition of Scrapbook.

Despite the sun, the weather was blustery, and based on the testimony of one player, quite hard work.

The evening brought the Summer Dinner and prize giving. The guests were piped into dinner by piper, Harvey Kane, and a grace was said by Alan Waugh of William Waugh (Edinburgh) Ltd, ahead of the three-course meal.

Huge congratulations to the team from Tandom Metallurgical on winning the overall team competition,

Billy Robertson of Robertson Metal Recycling for winning the individual highest score trophy and to all  the other prize winners.

As ever, BMRA members proved a generous bunch, not only with their donations to the raffle, but their donations to enter the raffle. BMRA Vice-President, Shane Mellor, gave out the prizes, ably assisted by two former Association Presidents, Tony Dodds of Sackers and Roger Brewster of Metal Interests. We are thrilled to say we raised £2,000 for the British Heart Foundation.
