BDGA Seeks Treasurer

Sean Young has volunteered to take the post of Treasurer on a temporary basis. The BDGA is still urgently looking for someone to take over this post. The position doesn't require a lot of your time, however it is a critical role within the organisation. If you are interested in taking over the role, please contact the BDGA Secretary Jonnie Burden.

BDGA Handbook

The new BDGA Handbook is well overdue. The communications director for the BDGA, Richard Sampson, has the task of putting together the publication. The new edition will largely be an updated version of the previous handbook. To start the ball rolling, could existing course contacts check the information in the last handbook and send any amendments through to Richard. Likewise if there are new courses in the UK that need to be included in the latest handbook, could a representative for the course get in touch. Finally, if anyone has any friends who just happen to run a printing company, and who may offer 'mates rates', please let Richard know. Many thanks Contact Richard Sampson 0958 587 670 rich@discgolf.co.uk

The BDGA Needs YOU!

The board of directors welcomes new ideas and suggestions from anyone and everyone. Get in touch if you've got something to say. New courses are obviously great for the development of the sport. If you see an opportunity to introduce the sport, perhaps in your local area, the BDGA will be able to offer advice.
