Gary Shipley, a Golf Professional and ‘Freeman’ of the city of Newcastle has joined the Executive Committee and Special Events team at Sport Newcastle.
Presently enjoying a role at the new Gateshead College Golf Academy, Gary will bring a variety of skills and experience to the organisation. Whilst coaching is a passion, his commercial and Health & Safety expertise will be set to good use within Sport Newcastle. No prizes for guessing who’ll be taking a leading role in organising the 2010 Golf Day!
On attending his first meeting on the 9th of December, Gary stated that he ‘was looking forward to making a difference and helping young athletes reach their potential’.
