ABOUT GLCGA      Our County Organisation began more than 100 years ago, when we fielded a team in the first national inter county competition in 1900. (picture right)               But seven years before that, in 1893, the newly formed LGU held its first Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship - and the winner of that and the next two championships, was a Gloucestershire girl, Lady Margaret Scott. Quite a beginning. And over the years our County Members have brought us national honour both as players and 'management'.... like Ruth Porter, Beverly Huke, Kitrina Douglas, Sue Shapcott, Caroline Hall, Peggy Reece and Pat Skelton, to name but a few...   Lady Margaret Scott     More recently our own Jenny Clink was Chairman of ELGA in 2005. Before that Jenny, a member of Lilley Brook, was one of the South West's Representatives on the ELGA Executive and for three years she was manager of England's successful team at the Girls' Home Internationals and then took the English Girls to the European Masters in Austria. She captained the ELGA teams in 2006 and 2007, winning Bronze European Medals with the U21 team in 2006 and with the Ladies' Team in 2007. She has also captained Gloucestershire for two years leading them to the County Finals in 2001. In 2006 she was made an honorary member of the County. Jenny Clink     In 2003 the County published 'A Celebration.... of Ladies Golf in Gloucestershire' to mark its Centenary year. Copies are available for £9.50 (£13.50 to include postage and packing) E-mail Jen May: mail@jennifermay.net

Our First Official Minutes in 1903 showed just 20 members, representing a handful of clubs. We now have 37 affiliated clubs. Representatives from   those clubs meet four times a year. Those County Reps do not simply listen to reports and nod their heads, they are voting members. They Shape      the policies and agree, or otherwise, the county spending.
