It has just been Women's Sport Week and with the
Women's World “Soccer” Cup in full swing in Canada, with record
attendances and TV coverage. The initiative has provided an
opportunity for all women to raise awareness of those involved in
playing, delivering, leading and working in women's sport across the
UK. Try the website-www.womeninsport.org/wsw2015
A charity, Women in Sport is supported by National Governing Bodies and Sky Sport, BBC Sport, British Rowing and
Sport England, to name a few.
Gary Neville has put his
substantial interest behind the venture since he knows at first hand
how hard his sister Tracey has had to battle to get recognised in
national netball. She is now England's head coach. Gary may have had
an easier path to stardom.
Reet Bains from Octagon, the sports'marketing company, a recent graduate, explains how
she has become involved, as an Account Executive, in the marketing
and sponsorship side of the “business” and she is now one of many
women to hold an important post in what was once a male dominated work place.

Reet has the challenging job of
working on the Global Mastercard Sponsorship account, so she finds
herself located at venues such as the Open Golf Championship, this
year being held at the now “ALL” inclusive Royal and Ancient Golf
Club. Recently, she had to host a Patrons' Day at the famous St Andrew's course and
enjoyed the Patrons' Dinner in the Clubhouse, with guest speaker Tom
Watson.
Reet is looking forward to focussing at the Rugby World Cup, her next venture and many more gigs in the
future.
