It may be winter, with its short days, poor weather and temporary greens, but we are already busy preparing for the BMJ Golf Classic 2008 series. Once again we have chosen three top courses for the qualifiers, with the winners competing for the opportunity of playing in the grand final.

This is a prestigious event for heavyside merchants who play regularly and have a handicap of 24 or less. The Southern qualifier will be at John O’Gaunt at Sandy in Bedfordshire; for the Midlands we will be going to Little Aston in Sutton Coldfield; and for our Northern heat we will be at Fulford near York. In September we will be going to France for the thrilling final at La Mer in Le Touquet, with the celebrations to be held at the prestigious 5-star Hotel Westminster.

We know the demand for places will be high so make sure you register as soon as possible. Just print the pdf below, fill it in and fax it back to us on 020 8651 7117 or post it to BMJ Golf Classic, Faversham House Group, Faversham House, 232a Addington Road, Selsdon, Surrey CR2 8LE.

What you said...

“What a trip!! Great people, great hotel and fantastic golf. I thoroughly enjoyed myself on a very well organised trip…and a nice big box to go home with!” Adrian L’Estrange, Preston Paints (Ed: Adrian is referring to the large glass Tiffany & Co bowls given as prizes to members of the winning team)

“From meeting at Bedford to getting back there the whole trip was fantastic. The BMJ team were excellent, the sponsors were first class and the hotel and golf were superb. It was a joy to be part of this trip and I just wish my Golf had been up to an equal standard. I hope to be able to repeat the experience in 2008. Thank you very much indeed.” Andy Barr, Keyline Builders Merchants

“A great trip, fantastic hotel, great golf course and excellent food (I’ve never had a glass of soup before!) The lunch on the coach to France is a great idea, but perhaps you should supply Aspirin for the coach back! Lots of bleary eyes!” Bob Coleman, Buildbase Civils & Lintels

“Excellent event. The hotel and restaurant were very good, the golf was exceptional and merchants and manufacturers had a chance to have fun together as colleagues.” Michael Davison, Keyline Builders Merchants

“A very enjoyable event. Good food, hotel and golf, apart from my first drive! (Ed: Ken’s drive off the first tee was unfortunately the only one not to make it past the ladies’ tee. However he more than made up for it later in the round and finished as part of the third place team). A well deserved pat on the back for the organisers and sponsors for a trip to remember.” Ken Pepperrell, P.A. Seccombe

“I’ve been lucky enough to get through to the finals with BMJ before and, as before, it was extremely well organised by your team. The preliminary course at Little Aston is as fantastic as Le Touquet. I have enjoyed the company very much including meeting friends and colleagues from previous BMJ Golf Classics. I cannot think of anything you can improve on. Thanks you to all the BMJ staff and our sponsors who make this event possible.” Bob Hadland, Travis Perkins

“This was my fourth attempt to reach the final, and I must say, just to be there you feel like a winner. And, for my team to come third was an added bonus. I would like to say a big thank you to all the sponsors for a great few days. I can’t wait for next year’s heats to try and get to the final again.” Phil Kennerson, Travis Perkins

“A fantastic hotel with great company on a truly wonderful golf course. A massive thank you to all at BMJ and the sponsors for providing us with everything we needed. All I need to do now is to qualify for next year’s final.” Dave Viggars, Buildbase
