AGM –
Hadley Wood Golf Club
22 January 2026
The 35th Annual General Meeting of the Cypriot Golf Society was held at Hadley Wood Golf Club on 22 January 2026.
Due to severe winter rain and cold weather, the golf course was closed and no friendly golf took place during the day. Nevertheless, the evening AGM dinner was exceptionally well attended, with over 60 members present. Members enjoyed an excellent carvery, drinks and dessert, generously provided by the Society.
The meeting was opened by President Evangelos Evangelou, who welcomed members and congratulated Captain Andy Michanicou and the membership for raising an impressive £8,000 for the Captain’s chosen charity, Age UK Enfield.
Captain Andy formally presented the cheque, and a representative from Age UK Enfield addressed the members, outlining the charity’s vital work within the community. The organisation supports and enriches the lives of older residents in Enfield, helping them remain independent and active. Each year, it reaches more than 7,000 older adults, providing essential services including dementia day care, personalised home support, exercise programmes, advice and practical assistance.
In addition, thanks to the generosity and compassion of Hadley Wood Golf Club—who waived the Society’s golf day fees in remembrance of the late Mario Symeou (2022)—the Cypriot Golf Society was able to donate £1,150 to Mind in Enfield and Barnet. Mind is a local mental health organisation providing culturally appropriate, accessible and high-quality services for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, as well as support for their carers and families. The Society once again expressed its sincere gratitude to Hadley Wood Golf Club for this touching gesture.
Following the charity presentations, the AGM continued with the announcement of this year’s President, Abe Basri, and the formal welcome of the 2026 Captain, Dino Capsalis. Captain Dino thanked members for their support and outlined his nominated charity for the year, North London Hospice.
Committee members then presented their reports as set out in the agenda, with members contributing to discussions and debates on various matters.
A significant highlight of the evening was the announcement of the establishment of the Society’s Hall of Fame — a distinguished honour created to recognise and celebrate members whose exceptional dedication, service and contribution have shaped the spirit and success of the Society.
The Hall of Fame stands as a lasting tribute to those individuals whose commitment, both on and off the course, has left an enduring legacy for future generations. The Society was honoured to welcome Peter Sandamas, Panayiotis Poyiadzis, Kyriakos Tsirpis, Andreas Stylianou, and Andy Petrou (posthumously) as its inaugural inductees.
