The GCMA’s final National Education Day of the year is being staged at Walton Heath next month. Can your club afford not to hear from the experts?

We’ve just come through the hottest summer in nearly half a century – and it’s likely we’re going to face many more years of drought-like conditions in the decades to come.
Whether it’s cutting down on the water we use, finding more climate-friendly ways of dealing with turf, or establishing biodiverse areas to promote pollinators, sustainability is one of the most pressing issues facing golf clubs today.
But while anyone can have great ideas, little can be achieved if the decision-making processes – and the way a club is run through its governance – are not correct.
In the final GCMA National Education Day of 2022, both these topics will play a starring role at Walton Heath on November 23.

The R&A’s director of sustainability, Arlette Anderson, will be joined by Dr Marie Athorn, business conversation advisor for the RSPB, to discuss your clubs can understand the impact they have on their environment, how to plan for the future, and practical ways of making changes.
Eddie Bullock and Jerry Kilby, both leading experts on governance, will also talk about how boards and committees can make better decisions – taking the audience through case studies from clubs and how lessons were learned.
The event is open to non-GCMA members and the association are particularly keen for volunteers, members of golf club committees, and boards – as well as anyone else interested – to attend.
The event at Walton Heath is £50 for GCMA members and £95 for non-members. To sign up, register here.
