Executive Committee Election Candidate Profiles
Posted on: 27 November
Mr. Rob Hutchinson
I would appreciate the opportunity to continue as a member of the Executive Committee of LGC having served in this capacity for the last two years. I am committed to supporting the stewardship of our Club through the redevelopment program under the leadership of our president John Christophersen.
Transparent and accountable governance together with strong financial management and appropriate use of expert consultants are critical to achieving the best outcome possible for the long-term health of our Club. We have a wonderful opportunity that must not be squandered or stifled in the execution.
Member engagement through timely and informative communications has been a focus of the Executive Committee during these last two years. My aim would be to build on this base by including regular reports from Club Operations into the Member Newsletter.

As a former School Principal, I have had extensive experience in managing budgets and people. I have enjoyed working as a volunteer in various sporting clubs. I have been fortunate to have been a member of LGC for 9 years and benefited from the good work of previous and current Executives at LGC. Now time is available for me to also contribute in the next stage of our golf course development.

As President of the Women’s Committee, I feel it is important that the person in that role sits on the Executive. Conduit between the Women members, the Women’s committee and the Executive, particularly through the delicate transition from old to new course.
I have very strong organisational abilities gained from managing small businesses out of Liquidation.
I feel I can contribute to the Executive through the transition.

Ms. Georgie Clegg
I have been on the LGC Executive for the last two years in the role of Membership and Marketing. I was included with the selection committee for the paid position for Membership and Marketing which resulted in the appointment of Allie Crosgrove who has been a huge asset in her role for the LGC.
I retired from being a buyer for almost 12 years at Henry Bucks Menswear. I still have special friendships from those suppliers I dealt with, hence the importance of communication and understanding from people from all walks of life, especially in a wonderful community as the Lonsdale Golf Club.
At present I am coordinating the process for a written history of the LGC for a book and website, in time for the 100 year celebration of Point Lonsdale Golf Club in 2022.
Mrs. Cheryl Holdsworth
Since joining LGC in 2014 as a beginner golfer, I have become passionate about the future and direction of the club. I have accepted the nomination to be a member of the Executive to become more involved in the decision making.
My background is in education. I was a full-time primary school teacher for 37 years which included 20 years in leadership positions at a number of schools. The last 7 years I was an Assistant Principal.
Being semi-retired, I now do some casual relief teaching as well as contract work for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
Mrs. Heather Perkins
I have served on the Women’s Committee in the past – 2 years as Vice Captain and 2 years as Captain.
I have also held the position of Women’s President at another Club.
I have been Club Champion 4 times, Captain Shield winner 3 times and a Merit Award winner.
