We would be delighted if you can join us for the Second GolfBIC at the Marriott Forest of Arden‚ 11th and 12th March 2013. The event is a joint venture between The UK Golf Course Owners Association (UKGCOA) and The Organisation of Golf & Range Operators (OGRO) and we think that this will be one of the most relevant and enjoyable fixtures on the golf industry calendar. As a member of either OGRO, UKGCOA or BGIA, the event costs just £195 + VAT to attend. Register here or just email colin@ogro.org.

We have changed the event substantially since last year and have condensed the exhibition into one day, with the bulk of the presentations also taking place on the first day. Day two is devoted to more detailed and specific work and we have a number of workshops planned for the second morning. These will involve a smaller group and get into the detail of each subject in more depth. There will also be an opportunity to play golf or enjoy the other facilities of the resort with friends and colleagues if you wish.

The design of the event is to give all delegates the maximum opportunity to network with other golf course, resort and range owner-operators and to develop the relationship over the two days of the event. We have a selection of excellent speakers and a wide ranging table-top exhibition, which will run throughout the event.

The event runs from the morning of Monday 11th March. We expect a great turn out for the dinner in the evening. Once again we will be raising money for the Golf Foundation.
