We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. The Victory Services Club (VSC) is proud to announce its official sponsorship of the Royal Marines’ Golf Team in 2023, forging a valuable partnership between this great military sporting team and the Club. As part of this collaboration, the VSC logo will be prominently displayed on the team’s shirts.

With a rich heritage of supporting active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families, the Victory Services Club is delighted to align with the Royal Marines and contribute to their sporting endeavours. Through this sponsorship, we also aim to raise awareness for the VSC, especially within the military community, many of whom may be unaware that the Club offers FREE membership to the serving armed forces.

But that’s not all – there is already much to celebrate! At the end of May, the Royal Marines’ Golf Team competed in their first inter-services fixture against the Royal Artillery Golf Team. It was a hard-fought battle on the course, showcasing great skill and determination. Captained by Lee Jones, the RMGA emerged as the winners with a final score of 6.5 to 5.5. What a victorious start to the season! We couldn’t be prouder of the team’s achievements.
