Annual Golf Tournament
Next Event ~ Gold Coast ~ 2022
Hornibrook 2021 ~ Cancelled
The Hornibrook event scheduled for Sydney 10 to 15 Oct 2021 has been cancelled. See the details below received from MBE Golf Sydney.
Good morning gents,
It is with regret I write to inform you that we here at Sydney have made the decision to cancel the National Tournament for 2021.
We have not taken this decision lightly, but with the Covid crisis escalating at a rapid rate and potentially becoming a regular part of our lives for some months to come, we believe we have no choice as we approach the 90 day period which will begin to attract financial penalties if we delay our decision any longer.
Having made this decision we are happy to let the Gold Coast take over with the 2022 tournament, and we hope the pandemic is behind us by then.
As Graeme is away for another week, I ask that you pass on this news to your teams and we will be in touch again when he returns. Please stay safe.
Regards,
Garry Gibson.

Hornibrook 2020 ~ Postponed until 2021
The Hornibrook event scheduled for Sydney 11 to 16 Oct 2020 has been cancelled see the details below received from MBE Golf Sydney
It is proposed to hold this event next year details will be advised in due course.
Our own events schedule is on hold until further notice.
Taking into consideration all of the above points we have decided to cancel this years event and the responses already received from state captains gives us the approval to hold the event next year same time and same location and hopefully same golf courses. We will also have to advise you on any cost changes that may occur.
Some people might think we are calling this too early but our best chance of holding a successful event will be next year not this year.”

- “Sponsors - We don’t think it is wise to promote this event and not give our sponsors the best possible avenue to obtain return from their investment, also it would be extremely difficult to find additional sponsors at this time
- Players - We expect it to be extremely hard for players to commit to our event at this time, either due to health reasons or financial capacity during these coming months when a decision must be made.
- Crown plaza The hotel is being flexible with our contract and have offered us the opportunity to postpone our event until next year, subject to availability.
- Coronavirus Listening to the so called experts we are looking at a minimum 6 months shutdown of normal living conditions where one can expect to be freely able to visit restaurants and clubs , hold functions and play golf in normal operating conditions and feel 100% safe in doing these activities.
