COMMITTEE 2024

The Club Committee is a small group of nominated and elected volunteers, each of whom has a specific area of responsibility.

From managing finances, to looking after the equipment, to processing memberships and even down to the essential details like ensuring there is enough food for our meetings, each Committee Member plays a critical role in the Club’s livelihood.

One of the club’s promotion criteria, is to serve on the committee.  Many of of committee members have been on the committee for a period of years, and we encourage willing members, new and old, to stand for this role.
