At the last Women’s forum, representatives of the Committee of Management were on hand to provide an update after the Women’s Sub-committee resignation to answer questions and address any issues raised in the room.
Feedback from the day and correspondence received was taken back to our recent COM meeting, where it was felt important to survey all women members on their views to ascertain the interest of current Women members for the continuance of a Women’s Sub-committee.
While we prepare the survey, it was felt worthwhile to provide you with background information on the role of a Women’s sub-committee.
Historically this committee oversaw all women’s golf, running of golf events and social events. In more recent years, the focus of this committee has been more about engaging our female membership through social golf days and supporting new golfers by promoting a culture which is welcoming, inclusive and supportive of women and girls of all ages and skill levels.
The Women’s Captain is one of four women representatives on the Match Sub-committee also and generally oversees the golf while the Women’s President is the chair of the sub-committee and is an appointed member on the Committee of Management representing the rights and wellbeing of the women members at the Club board level.
With several of our female members holding positions on the Committee of Management and Match sub-committee, they are available to discuss, support, mentor or assist in helping any member who is interested in assisting Curlewis Golf Club in achieving our stated objectives of increasing, retaining and supporting the participation of women across all levels of the club.
It is hoped that we can prepare and forward the survey shortly. We welcome all feedback.
