A word from our Captain, Karen Cruickshank.

 

"Today we held the CBGS yearly presentation for 2025. 

Thank you to everyone who attended a lovely lunch at Bonalba Hotel, great food and a wonderful afternoon was had by all.

It's been a throughly enjoyable year and Derek and I would like to thank all the CBGS members for your continuing support. Your generosity in sponsoring events throughout the year is second to none and always appreciated.

We had a few away days and our away trip to La Sella were all enjoyable.  I hope you will all continue supporting these events

The society are very fortunate in having Pascale and Jean-Paul Le Roux, along with Bonalba golf's support.  The club always ensures we have our Wednesday tee times allowing us to play as a society. The CBGS  are very grateful of this.

Again the support and generosity of the members was noticeable today with the prizes for our society yearly presentation. Thank you very much to all the sponsors for your unwavering support.

To keep a society running requires a lot of hard work behind the scenes.  All this hard work is carried out voluntarily, so my immense thanks to Eddy Fagg, Bob Crow, Doris and last but certainly not least, Richard, thank you.

I hope 2026 is an enjoyable year, with good golf, great company and lovely sunny days. "
