Message from New President

Posted on 22nd January, 2025

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME LETTER

 To Delegates and all members of the VWGA

We held our 74th AGM on Friday 15 November 2024, which was well attended both in person and via Zoom which was very pleasing.

For those who sent their apologies, thank you for your response.  This shows that delegates are receiving the communications which keeps you up to the latest happenings in the association.

At the meeting, Nancye Cullen our long term member of the Committee for 24 years, and 11 years of these as Treasurer, was awarded a Life Membership.  Congratulations to Nancye on achieving this milestone. Due to this Nancye has stepped down from Treasurer.

Jacky Parsons stepped down from President as she has reached her 4 year tenure. We thank Jacky for her tireless work as President and also coordinating tournaments where she attended most tournaments in 2024. Jacky is rejoining as General Committee.

I, Virginnia Hewitt have accepted the position of President a role I hope to be able to fulfill with an aim to keep the Association viable in this current climate especially the gender neutral push .  I am relinquishing my role as Membership Coordinator, which I have held for 13 years, so I feel I know many of the Delegates statewide whether in person or by name.  Trish Huthwaite, the new Vice President will take on the role of Membership Coordinator. Full details later.

2025 is our 75th Anniversary. To highlight this achievement we have had a special hat clip for the anniversary made so all winners of the Mabel McKenzie brooch, Country Championships and Challenge Brooch will receive one of these.  They have a little bling on them.

We have a new Treasurer, Robyn Keyvar from Lynwood joining us to replace Nancye.  We wish her all the best. We are always happy to have new members to join the committee especially with goals of future executive positions.

Look forward to catching up with old and new friends at the 2025 tournaments, both metropolitan and country tournaments

Seasons Greeting for the Festive Season.  Good golfing in 2025

Virginnia Hewitt
