New face on Softball New Zealand board
Sunday August 28th 2005

With a passion for the game of softball and a desire to contribute to the 
sport Lyn Lockhart this weekend won election to the board of Softball New 
Zealand at the sports annual AGM and conference.

Sport has always been a part of life of Lockhart and after playing softball 
during her school years she returned to the game in support of her 
daughters initially taking up roles in team management.

Nominated by the Canterbury Softball Association Lockhart comes from a 
background in human resources and says she chose to stand for the board 
because she had a desire to give something back to the sport.

"My family have got a lot out of sport and I think I have a practical set 
of skills to offer the board and I want to give a return where I see the 
best value," said Lockhart.

Moving into her first term on the board Lockhart has a real focus on 
women's softball and would like to see the women's game returned to the 
successful days of the 1980's when the White Sox claimed the world title.

"I have very passionate views about women in sport and I would like to see 
the White Sox team back up where they have been and achieving at the levels 
that our men are achieving. If softball is to survive as a sport we need to 
have both out Black Sox and our White Sox achieving at the highest level," 
said Lockhart.

Along with Lockhart's election to the board sitting member Rex Capil from 
Southland and Ray Tibbits were both re elected to the board.
