2024-2025 Committee

The Western Athletics Inc. Annual General Meeting was held on Tuesday 23rd April 2024. At the meeting the 2024-2025 Committee was elected. Congratulations to the following Committee members who will lead the club over the coming year.

Ben Mudie (he/him)President

Ben joined Western Athletics in 2013 to pursue running his first marathon. Little did he know what he was in for being introduced to track and cross country competition. However he stuck around and is now the resident IT nerd running the club's website and other technical things!

Claire Hodgart (she/her)Vice President & Social Media Co-ordinator

Claire has competed in athletics for a long time from little athletics through to seniors at Western Athletics. Claire joined the committee in 2019 and has been involved in many projects prior such as establishing the club records, running our instagram and facebook social media, and a member of the social sub committee.

Graham Shaw (he/him)Treasurer

Graham has been a dedicated member of Western Athletics for many years. From 2009 to 2011 he was club Secretary and from 2011 onward he has been the club's Treasurer. You will find Graham at home on Shield competition days. In 2019 Graham was rewarded as a club life member.

Brenda Cashin (she/her)Registrar and Diversity & Inclusion

Brenda has been an important member of the club for many years. After a family bet (which she lost), Brenda then became an integral part of the over 40s team. The best thing about knowing Brenda is she always makes you laugh (even if she does not mean to). She is a generous person who works tirelessly for the club.

Peter Cashin (he/him)General

Peter has been a long supporter of the club, having performed the role of Secretary from 2011 to 2017, and took on the role as club President from 2017-2023. Peter's daughter Amy and son Liam have competed at national level for the club, and it's easy to see where they get their talent from!

Stuart MacaulayGeneral

Stuart has been an important club member. Starting off as an athlete he now coaches many of our athletes. Stuart has been integral in growing our club. He spent hours networking and recruiting runners. He took on the role of Winter Team Manager from 2003 to 2011, Secretary from 2003 to 2009, President from 2009 to 2012 and returns to the committee as Vice President in 2023. Stuart became a Life Member of Western Athletics in 2015.

Phil DunstoneXCR Team Manager

Phil has been involved with Western Athletics for a long time and is best known as our XCR Team Manager. Over the past few years Phil has played a major part with promotion of both our Men's and Women's Open XCR teams to Premier division. In his spare time you will find Phil home brewing and playing his guitar.
