BSRA combines golf and annual dinner

UK: After a number of false starts the “Birmingham Dinner” has been resurrected as part of the BSRA annual golf day at the Belfry in May.

Following a period of inactivity, Paul Singh of ChillAir was behind the re-establishment of the Birmingham Society of Refrigeration and Air conditioning in 2015. In addition to a revival of the evening meetings, the new group successfully relaunched the annual golf day in 2016.

The BSRA has now relaunched the Society’s, once extremely popular, annual dinner after a seven year absence. This will take place in the evening following the annual golf day on May 23 and will see the re-introduction of the BSRA Personality of the Year and Student of the Year Awards.

Nominations are now invited for both these awards. Closing date is March 15. Email Paul Singh for a nomination form.

Tickets for the BSRA Dinner are priced at a very reasonable £55.00+VAT. A few places are also still available for the golf day. This costs £130+VAT per place.

Order forms are available here.
