She qualified in 1964 for the National Championships which was the first year that they were held at Crystal Palace. fter going to Bedford College of Physical Education she returned to Nottingham in 1970 to teach PE. Shortly after starting her job she attended a meeting of the Nottingham Schools’ Swimming Association and was asked by local official Ken Martin whether she would like to be on the Committee and it was from this time that her involvement in swimming administration began. Josie joined the Nottinghamshire ASA Coaching and Education Committee and in 1973 she was one of a small group who set up a training scheme in Nottingham. In 1976 this scheme was run in conjunction with Nottinghamshire County Council who still provide some grant aid today. In 1977 a club, Nova Centurion SC, based on the scheme was affiliated so that swimmers could compete together at District and National level whilst still representing their base clubs at County level and in League swimming. This is still the format for the very successful scheme in Nottingham which has been copied by other areas and is seen as a model template for squad swimming and Performance clubs. Josie was Secretary of Nottinghamshire ASA from 1978 to 1989 and was elected to the Midland District Executive Committee in 1980, where she served as Swimming Secretary and PR Secretary. In 1986 after working at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh she was approached by the then ASA Secretary, David Reeves, to come to work at the ASA to set up a swimmer registration scheme. Having worked at Midland swimming events with Graham Sykes she had experience at working on computers and decided to move from teaching to working at the ASA. Josie was employed at Harold Fern House until 2001 in various roles including Membership Officer, Sponsorship & Promotions Manager and Customer Services Manager. Josie was also Chairman of the ASA Child Protection Working Party and worked with the government department and the NSPCC to set up the system for CRB checks with particular reference to how this would work with volunteers. In addition, together with a member of staff from the NSPCC, she wrote the booklet Safe Sport Away. During all this time, Josie continued as a volunteer in Nottinghamshire and particularly with the Swim Squad and Nova Centurion SC. She was also a National Team Manager and served on the Midland District Executive Committee. She helped to run the Midland Championships and in 1997 she was President of the Midland District. She was also a member of the ASA Technical Swimming Committee and led the Competition Working Party. In 2005 when the East Midland Region was formed, Josie took on the role as Chairman, having been the Shadow Chair for the two years previously while regionalisation was being implemented. She stood down from this role in September 2012 prior to being elected as ASA President. In 2006 Josie was the first winner of the Aquaforce National Volunteer award. On a personal level Josie’s two daughters swam with Nova Centurion and her husband Bob has been in the background at home supporting her involvement.
