Hi all,
It was great to see everybody back at the Club celebrating the achievements of our teams at the Presentation Events at the Club recently. Congratulations to all our trophy winners and to each and everyone of you for the work you did both on and off the field in what was another challenging year.
Our Annual General Meeting held in November saw the return of the current Board for the next season. This will give us great stability. It is also exciting that we have several new members on the Committee and have filled all the roles. This is something we have been endeavouring to do for several years and means that Board members will not have to wear so many hats. Thank you to those of you who have stepped up, your support is greatly appreciated. Please see all positions below. We thank those who have undertaken roles in the past. Lesley McLaughlin, Women’s Convenor, has handed over the reigns to Jess Law. Lesley has held this role for several years and has done a great job. She is not leaving the committee as she has taken on the Inclusion Role. Caro Dixon has also stepped down due to the sudden death of her husband. We thank her for the outstanding job she did as Sponsorship and Grants Coordinator.
