CGS Invitational Day 2025

Whitehill Golf Club, Ware, Hertfordshire - Tuesday 19th August

CALLING ALL MEMBERS - YOUR SOCIETY NEEDS YOU!

The CGS are holding a very special golf day to promote the C.G.S. with the aim of attracting all members and increasing awareness of our historic and FABULOUS society. There will be surprises, extra prizes, gags, special games, entertainment, challenges and of course loads of laughs!

The Captain would ask every member to attend and bring a guest! This promises to be an extra special occasion at our home course where we can celebrate the CGS together.

We are hoping members will bring a guest who is an entertainer or that is in some way connected to the entertainment, media or leisure business - it's all showbiz now-a-days! but straight men will of course also be welcome. If you are unable to bring a guest we would love you to come along and the likelihood to be asked to accompany extra guests. It’s a chance for us to welcome, grow and showcase our amazing society!

We are looking for sponsors who would be willing to help with the extra prizes, entertainment, sponsoring holes and costs of the day. Please let Colin Lewin or admin know if you would like to help in any way possible.

We need to know likely numbers so let the office know straight away if you can attend and if you can bring a guest or maybe two to this very, very special day. Come on lads, lets all get together, promote the society, bolster member numbers and above all lets all come together and enjoy a very special day.

Dear Members of the CGS,

Further to the advert and poster announcing the “CGS Invitational Day” on Tuesday 19th August 2025 we wanted to give you some finer details of the day aside from the usual CGS fixture letter that will be coming out to you.

This is a day for us all to celebrate and promote our amazing society at our home course. A day to all come together where it is hoped we firstly get all members to come to the day as a way of seeing old faces to share some laughs and to also get all members, where possible, to bring a guest with them who could and would be ideal new members for the society. As you will see the day is being run totally different than our usual monthly fixtures with lots of added extras and surprises during the day. This is being run by a sub-committee (with pre-arranged main committee approval) to deliver what is hoped a yearly celebratory CGS day. A lot of hard work has gone into arranging this day and in order for this to happen WE NEED YOU! Please book in early with the office. We have secured a great deal with Whitehill with a cost per player of just £50 (members and guests price)

Booking is open now and we are also taking “Hole Sponsors”. We have had a fantastic take up on hole sponsors already so please be quick to secure the remaining available slots.

DEADLINE FOR HOLE SPONSORSHIP IS THURSDAY 31st JULY OR UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL SOLD
