Bedfordshire Golf Club Officers - 2019/20 

 

At the Club AGM on Sunday, reports were given by members of the Board on our 2019 financial year and our new team of Officers were elected for 2020. 

 

Chairman of the Board, Steve Coppock, reported that Bedfordshire Golf Club is in excellent health and has reported an increased surplus over 2018, despite the sometimes challenging weather which was thrown at us throughout 2019! The club also made further significant investments in the courses and capital equipment and was still able to report a surplus. 

 

The team were again delighted to report a healthy number of New Members joining Bedfordshire Golf Club, continuing to fill the now limited number of remaining full-member vacancies. Many of these have moved from other local clubs as they recognise that our facilities are second to none in the area. 

 

There was much praise for the full time staff teams the Club, including the Greens' Team under John Gubb, Catering led by Debbie Caves, Bar & Events led by Ruth Coppock and Administration led by Lynne Hopkins. The support from our great team of Golf Professionals was also recognised. 

 

Many in the room were keen to recognise the considerable efforts of the Interim Management Team of Steve Coppock, Clive Haywood, John Simpson and Gerald Bygraves, , who have, on a pro-Bono basis, run the Club throughout 2019 prior to the recruitment of a New Full Time General manager during 2020. 

 

Retiring Captain, Andy Brown recognised the hard work of the leaders of the various Sub-Committees including Chair of Greens' - Sam Turnbull, Chair of Golf - John Haines and Chair of House - Peter Wilson. He finished by highlighting the great leadership provided for us over the last year by new President, Joe Nellis.
