The Buckland Club
President’s Dinner
Sponsor Roger Hale
Edgbaston Golf Club
Wednesday March 6th 2024
From 7pm – 7.30pm Start
“50 Not Out”
Our sponsor for the evening needs no introduction since the Club will be honouring President Roger Hale’s 50 years as a member. During this period, he has eaten the inedible, savoured the savoury and devoured desserts a plenty in the name of Frank Buckland. These have been washed down with a multitude of fine wines and semi lethal beverages. Every dinner has also been accompanied by a soundtrack of sponsors – some good, many great and the occasional indifferent – but all in the Buckland tradition. He certainly has the t-shirt, although on it is written “Buckland Club Rock & Roll Dinner”.
Roger has taken an active role in the Club’s affairs for many decades. He has sponsored dinners, written and delivered minutes, acted as Secretary, sommelier and produced a range of wonderfully professional and imaginative menus. He succeeded Harlan Walker as Chairman and dragged the Club screaming and kicking into the twentieth century by actively promoting the introduction of lady members.
Roger & the committee will be reflecting upon many of the Club’s more memorable dinners, and the menu will be revisiting classic dishes from our past. This joyous occasion promises to be an extremely popular event and members are actively encouraged to bring guests in order to celebrate. So much so that the Treasurer has enthusiastically agreed to set the cost of all tickets at a very modest £60. It is hoped that members will give special consideration to guests that might wish to join afterwards.
