About HAGS-UK
HAGS-UK Founder
Derek Messling with Penny Ward at The Springs - August 2004
+++++++++
The Hong Kong Housing Authority Golfing Society (UK Branch) was formed originally by Derek Messling in 1993.
Membership of the Society is open to former Hong Kong Housing Authority staff as well as consultants and contractors who have or had connections with the Housing Authority in Hong Kong.
The Society organises an annual golf outing, usually at a hotel with a golf course or a golf and country club in the south or west midlands.
In recent years, these outings have also been open to members of, or organised jointly with, the Hong Kong Public Works Department Golfing Society (UK Branch).
With the demise of the parent Housing Authority Golfing Society in Hong Kong in 2005, HAGS-UK is apparently the only surviving HA golfing society.
How long HAGS-UK will continue to survive, in view of the depredations of passing time, increasing decrepitude among the members and the absence of an organiser for further outings, is to say the least uncertain….
The end of an era
In the absence of a volunteer to take over the organisation, this year's will be the last official HAGS/PWDGS-UK outing.
Anyone wishing to take over the organiser's role is invited to contact Nigel French.
