SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 76 - May 2014)
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 76 - May 2014) SURREY COUNTY AA AGM Surrey County AA held its AGM recently and elected Margaret Nelson as its President for the current year. Margaret Nelson was one of the Surrey officials selected to help at the London Olympics in 2012 and you may have seen her on television officiating there. She is one of only four Surrey level three field event officials which means she is eligible to officiate at national championships and international meetings. Margaret's interest in athletics was kindled when she was a pupil at Godalming Grammar School. She proved a competent thrower in the shot, discus and javelin and in 1964 she joined her local club, Guildford & Godalming and has remained a member ever since, chalking up 50 years' continuous membership, an impressive record. She continued to excel in the throws and although she never won a medal in the then Surrey County Women's championships, she did lift the Surrey schools shot putt title in 1967 with a championship record throw and went on to represent Surrey at the English schools championships that year. She continued to compete and described herself as a reasonably good club competitor. As her competitive career wound down, she became involved in athletics administration and served as officials and fixtures secretary at her club. She gave up competing when she married Nigel in 1978 but, as the sport had given her so much pleasure and satisfaction she decided she wanted to put something back into it. She opted to become an official and the newly married couple both became qualified in their wedding year. -
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 65 - November 2010)
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 65 - November 2010) In this issue we mark the passing of 5 Surrey stalwarts who in their different ways have served our sport. ROY BRISLEY - One of Surrey's top officials more than four decades ago, Roy Brisley, died on November 2 aged 78. He was elected president of the Surrey Women's Athletic Association in 1970 after serving as the association's chief coach, team manager and treasurer. He was a long-standing member of Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club and a former English schools senior boys high jump champion. Brisley joined the former Hercules Club in Spring 1945 while a pupil at Bec School, Tooting. He proved quite an all-rounder and held club records for the high jump, long jump, shot, discus and decathlon. He excelled at the high jump and set a club men's U17 record of 1.60m in 1949 and the following year improved to 1.73m in winning the Surrey junior title with a Surrey and Club record clearance. Despite finishing third in the Surrey schools championships in 1951, he managed to win the English schools senior boys title at Southampton that year. In 1952, his future in athletics came under threat when he tore ligaments in his ankle but he bounced back in 1954 by improving his club record in clearing 1.83m. He became a qualified high jump coach in 1950 and then qualified in every track and field event apart from the hammer. He was appointed chief coach to the Surrey women's team in 1955 and before becoming president in 1970 served as team manager and treasurer to the Surrey Women's Association. -
