4. AVGC Seniors Winter Eclectic 2026 / 2027 Now Open For Entry
If you go into IG 'Competitions - Upcoming', and look for 1st November, you will see that that this winter's Seniors Eclectic is now open for entry.
There are two divisions - Under 16 (U16) Course Handicap and 16 and above (16+) CH.
The Eclectic counts your best Nett score for each of 18 holes played in an approved Seniors Strokeplay competition from 1st November 2026 until mid March 2027.
It all happens automatically once you enter in IG, and your Playing Handicap is 50% of your CH on 1st November 2026.It's a really fun event which shows you what you true potential in winter conditions really is - join in and see what happens!
NOTE: If the contributing Competition is run as a non-Qualifier, players must properly hole out (ie strictly no 'Gimmes'!) for the score to count towards their Eclectic total.
5. Date For Your Diary: This Year's Seniors Christmas Lunch is on Monday 14th December 2026
After the fantastic success of the last few years, this year's Christmas Lunch is being held on Monday 14th December 2026.
The Menu will be Roast Turkey and all the Trimmings, followed by Apple Pie and Custard with Coffee & Mints to finish.

The Committee is very pleased to announce, that due to the success of this year's Seniors competitions, the cost of the Christmas Lunch will be reduced, from last year's price, to only £15pp!
