If you attended the club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in November, you will know that the membership elected several individuals to the club’s Management Committee. The committee serves as a representative body for all members, tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the club’s operations and making decisions on behalf of the membership. We want to emphasise that the committee is here to represent the interests of all members, and we encourage open communication and feedback from the membership.
Your concerns, ideas, and thoughts are valuable to the club, and we want to hear from you. Whether it’s suggestions for improving club activities, concerns about facilities, or ideas for new initiatives, your input helps shape the direction of the club. The committee is committed to ensuring every member’s voice is heard and considered.
