The Sport Godalming AGM was held on the 13th March 2025 at Guildford Rugby Club, attended by local leaders and representatives from 20 organisations. Chairman Simon Crowther reviewed a successful year, including the Godalming Run, cricket and bowls events, and Olympic gold for climber Toby Roberts.
Treasurer Hugh Morgan reported a surplus and healthy finances. Officers and committee members were elected, with several new additions.
Councillor Paul Follows updated attendees on Broadwater Park regeneration plans, including potential for new facilities, pending public consultation and technical surveys. Concerns were raised about ensuring real community needs are met.
Local athletes supported by the Go for Gold scheme were introduced, and Sport Godalming’s first Ambassador, international bowler Yasmina Hasan, shared her journey. Four of our successful applicants for Go for Gold were present at the meeting. These were Ollie Jermy, a middle distance runner, Holly Linfield, an archer, Owen Firth, Triple Jump and Chelsea MacFarlane, a bowls player. Maia Bentley, a rower, and Molly Butler, a skier, were unable to attend due to training overseas with their respective GB teams. Molly did send a video clip in which she described her training regime.
A new website was presented to the crowd by Eden Allen, running through the new pages and then asking the clubs to let Sport Godalming know of any changes to the data.
Finally, retiring Vice Chair Michael O’Sullivan was honoured for his contributions. The nostalgic rendition was punctuated by photographs and anecdotes.
The evening closed with thanks from Councillor John Ward, the Mayor of Waverley, talking about the benefit of sport bringing people to together, particularly the young people in the community.
