Marg
Woodlock-McLean wins Gold at 2002 World Masters
After all of a week's
training, Marg competed in the 2002 World Masters Games in Melbourne,
winning Gold and becoming a World Masters Champion. In an interview
on Melbourne radio station 3AW, she joked that it had only taken
her 40 years, but she'd finally achieved her Gold medal at an
international competition. A lot of press followed, including
an article in The Age newspaper, which will be reproduced here
in the next few weeks.

In a statement released
to the press on Friday, May 4th 2001, MECWA announced that their
Most Remarkable Person for 2001 is Emjay Projects' Margaret Woodlock-McLean.
Marg won the award for her
commitment to sport and recreation and the arts, and her dedication
to promoting the important contribution older people make in
the wider community.
Marg was unaware of her nomination
for the award, and the announcement came as a complete surprise.
"It was completely unexpected. I never even knew about the
award until I got the phone call telling me I'd won!" she
said. "I am honoured and very surprised."
