This is a real bonus for members of the Club. Silverdale became a founder member of a newly formed The 1906 Club. Over 60 clubs were founded in 1906 and to-date 40 Clubs have joined The 1906 Club including the prestigious Swiss course, Crans-sur Sierre home of the Swiss Open Golf Tournament.
The benefits of this:
- Courtesy, reciprocal golfing rights to all affiliated Clubs,
- Members can play, in groups of eight or fewer, on any of the courses of the affiliated clubs once a year in perpetuity as long as they are at least 50 miles from the home club.
- The courses are all over the UK and one in Switzerland.
Members who wish to play at one of The 1906 Club courses need to see the secretary Barbara Hebdon who will provide a letter of introduction, then phone the course and go and enjoy playing the course.
Silverdale as the winners of the inaugural 2005 1906 Club competition hosted the first of the annual competitions in May 2006. Harwich & Dovercourt were the winners and they host the 2007 competition.
