1. Who is running the giveaway
This free membership giveaway is run by Bury Golf CIC (company no. 17565185), registered office Valley View, Tugby Orchards Business Centre, Wood Lane, Tugby, Leicestershire LE7 9WE (“we”, “us”), for Bury Golf Club. Bury Golf CIC is part of the Link Golf UK group. Questions about the giveaway: secretary@burygolfclub.com.
2. It is free
Entry is free. No purchase, payment or membership is needed to enter, and entering does not improve or reduce anyone’s chances in any other way.
3. Who can enter
Anyone living in the United Kingdom can enter. Existing, former and new members of Bury Golf Club can all enter. Adults must be 18 or over and enter themselves. A child under 18 on the closing date can be entered only by their parent or legal guardian, who must be 18 or over. Directors of Bury Golf CIC and anyone involved in running the giveaway, and people living in their households, cannot enter. To be eligible to win, the entrant must live within 25 miles of Bury Golf Club, Unsworth Hall, Blackford Bridge, Bury BL9 9TJ (for a child, the home address of the parent or guardian who entered them). We may ask the winner for proof of address. If the winner does not live within 25 miles, the prize passes to the first reserve, and then to the second, on the same terms.
4. How to enter
Complete the entry form on the Bury Golf Club page of this website and follow Bury Golf Club on Facebook or Instagram. Each person can be entered once. More than one person from the same household can enter, so a parent and their children can each have an entry. We send an email to confirm each entry. Entries that are incomplete, late, entered more than once or made by someone without the right to enter them are not valid.
5. Closing date
Entries close at 11:59pm UK time on 20 February 2027. Entries received after that are not included.
6. How the winner is chosen
One winner is chosen at random in March 2027 from all valid entries, in the presence of a person who is independent of Bury Golf CIC. We keep a record of how the draw was made.
After entries close, each valid entry is given a number, starting at 1, in the order it was received. The winning number is drawn one digit at a time, using numbered golf balls picked blind from a golf bag, and the draw is streamed live. For the first digit, the bag holds balls numbered from 0 up to the first digit of the total number of valid entries. For each later digit, the bag holds balls numbered 0 to 9. Each drawn ball goes back into the bag before the next digit is drawn. If the number drawn is 0 or higher than the number of valid entries, it does not count and the whole number is drawn again. The entry with the winning number wins. Two reserve numbers are then drawn in the same way, in order, and recorded.
7. The prize
One full membership of Bury Golf Club for 12 months, in the membership category that fits the winner’s age. If the winner is already a member, the prize covers 12 months of their membership fees instead. The prize is not transferable and there is no cash alternative. The winner is subject to the club’s usual membership rules.
8. The winner
We contact the winner by email within 7 days of the draw (for a child, we contact the parent or guardian who entered them). If we have no reply within 14 days, or the winner cannot accept the prize, the prize goes to the first reserve, and then to the second, on the same terms. With the winner’s agreement, we may announce their first name and town. On request, we will give the winner’s first name and county to anyone who asks within one month of the draw.
