The sun shone over Edinburgh and there was a warm Scottish welcome on Monday 4 July as the BMRA Golf Day and Summer Dinner returned after a two-year COVID enforced break.

A sell-out on the course, 20 teams lined up for a shotgun start on the Championship East course at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Kirknewton.

Images from the day are available for members to download here.

Earlier in the day, the BMRA held its Annual General Meeting, where President Susie Burrage, Vice President Shane Mellor and BMRA CEO, James Kelly presented the previous year’s activities.

The BMRA welcomed a new Board member. Harry Seale of Atlas Commodities replaced

Sue Howell of Wye Valley Metals. Thank you to Sue for her time on the board and work as treasurer on behalf of the Association. You can read an interview with Harry in a future edition of Scrapbook.

Despite the sun, the weather was blustery, and based on the testimony of one player, quite hard work.

The evening brought the Summer Dinner and prize giving. The guests were piped into dinner by piper, Harvey Kane, and a grace was said by Alan Waugh of William Waugh (Edinburgh) Ltd, ahead of the three-course meal.

Huge congratulations to the team from Tandom Metallurgical on winning the overall team competition,

Billy Robertson of Robertson Metal Recycling for winning the individual highest score trophy and to all  the other prize winners.

As ever, BMRA members proved a generous bunch, not only with their donations to the raffle, but their donations to enter the raffle. BMRA Vice-President, Shane Mellor, gave out the prizes, ably assisted by two former Association Presidents, Tony Dodds of Sackers and Roger Brewster of Metal Interests. We are thrilled to say we raised £2,000 for the British Heart Foundation.

The evening ended with entertainment from Joe Yates Music.

The BMRA benefits greatly from the generosity of members who sponsor and donate in
