GPA and WGPA vote to join forces

The GPA and WGPA have voted “overwhelmingly” to join forces.

Both bodies held extraordinary general meetings this evening where it was decided to merge with 100% of GPA delegates in favour and 96% of WGPA delegates supporting the move which will see a combined membership of some 4,000 players.

A new national executive committee will be elected at next year’s AGM “which will proportionally represent the association’s female and male members”.
