The Blue Butterfly competition was launched in 2015 when our Environment Committee
sought to raise funds to dedicate to environmental programmes at RMGC. The date also
coincided with then new sponsors Blevins Franks coming on board with RMGC and
supporting a number of competitions and golf club improvements. Our thanks to Blevins
Franks for their continued support. The competition is mixed, usually played on a public
holiday in March to symbolise springtime and new growth. Every year proceeds from the
sponsorship are set aside into the Environment fund which supports the purchase of extra
trees or the two reverse osmosis systems we installed to reduce single use plastic waste on
the course or towards waste separation or installation of solar PV systems and so on. Our
caterers are also encouraged to design a special menu each year to showcase locally
sourced Maltese products, setting an example by supporting local suppliers and reducing
reliance on high air mile ingredients. The next Blue Butterfly is scheduled to be played on
Sunday March 19th public holiday. See you then!
