Upcoming events in Scotland and Northern Ireland


BIGGA Scotland Legacy Club

Pioneered in Scotland, the Legacy Club is a group of BIGGA members who heve been greenkeeping for more than 25 and who are over 55 years of age. It is recognised that such characters will have tremendous knowledge and experience they can pass on to the next generation.

Anyone retired or working in Scotland who meets the eligibility criteria is invited to attend the club, which hosts events including the Legacy Championship in June each year. The group decides the winners of several Scottish Awards categories, determines the president and vice-president of BIGGA Scotland and also makes suggestions for BIGGA Life Membership.

For more information about the Legacy Club, contact John Young.
