Berkshire’s Margaret Berriman to chair
EWGA’s operational board
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Berkshire’s Margaret Berriman is the new chairman of the operational board of the English Women’s Golf Association (EWGA).
Margaret was appointed for 2009 by the EWGA management board. She has been chairman of the association’s South regional committee and a member of the operational board. EWGA is the governing body for women’s amateur golf in England and represents around 120,000 members in 1780 clubs.
Its operational board looks after the association’s golfing activities.
Margaret commented: “I am very much looking forward to taking on this new role and I would really like to see EWGA connect with its members. EWGA needs to show women golfers that it has something to offer them and can play an important part in their golf. It is their organisation.”
Margaret has played golf since she was a teenager and has been Berkshire county captain. She’s a county first team player and remarked: “I came to county golf fairly late in life and got my county colours and my bus pass in the same 12-month period!”
She also represents Berkshire as a senior and has been county seniors’ champion.
She first became involved with national golf administration about three years ago when she represented the south-east division on the executive committee of the English Ladies’ Golf Association, which was replaced by EWGA.
Margaret became a member of EWGA’s first operational board in 2008 when she chaired the South regional committee, which represents Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey and Sussex. She also sits on the management committee of the EWGA Trust, the charity for girls’ golf, and has recently joined EWGA’s championship and venues committee.
Margaret, who plays off five handicap, is a member of Goring and Streatley Golf Club where she was the first woman to be appointed to the management committee. She is currently chairman of the club’s finance committee, is a past ladies’ captain and the reigning ladies’ club champion.
