JANE FLEMING CLOCKS UP 20 YEARS ON LGU STAFF

Jane Fleming, on right, a long-time member of the Ladies Golf Union staff at its St Andrews HQ on The Scores, receives a painting from LGU President Maureen Lockett to mark Jane's completion of 20 years' service.

"When I joined the LGU in 1989 I was looking for a little part time job as I had a four-month old baby boy, so 2 ½ days a week was fine although I only intended to stay for six months!" Jane told Kirkwoodgolf in an exclusive interview today.

"Joan Lawrence was Chairman at the time and on the interview panel and Nell Bruen was President.

"Prior to starting at the LGU I worked for six years at the Scores Hotel so didn’t have far to move! I moved to the St Andrews area in 1980, having previously lived in Clackmannan.

"Twenty years later (I can’t believe it!) I am still here and the 'baby boy'is a strapping, about-to-be 21 year old and I have had 2 more children, aged 10 and 8.

"I have seen many changes and held many titles over the years from part-time Admin Assistant to Services Manager, my current title. I am now involved in organising travel and accommodation, AGM and Peugeot LGU Coronation Foursomes."

Now for the next 20 years ...
