COMMITTEE NEWS:
1. There
is much happening behind the scenes. We begin again the process of
sanctioning the events on the upcoming calendar and Tony Cox will be
undertaking that role for the next event.
3.
Our Annual General Meeting will take place prior to our event on Sunday 7
September 2014.
4. We
have a number of committee positions to fill at the AGM and are seeking
expressions of interest from our members.
Those
stepping aside include our president and vice president. Steve Goat and
John Arrigo have overseen a number of changes in the way we run our events and
have between them shouldered a huge amount of the workload required to get our
events happening.
Simon Wiese
is another going on long service leave from the committee. Simon has been
our Public Officer and a quiet voice in the area of governance.
We
previously announced that our long serving treasurer Karen Lewis would be
retiring from the committee. Luckily we have had interest in this
position and are hopeful of a smooth handover.
The junior
coordinator Luke Hansen would like to find someone to take over the
juniors. If this sounds like a gig you could handle please get in
touch. Juniors traditionally kick off in October.
Those
mentioned will continue in their positions until the AGM but it would be great
if we had understudies in place before then.
5. We
would like to hear from you if you are willing to give back to the club in any
way or have skills that could assist the club going forward. Send us an email or speak to a committee member.
