Committee Responsibilities

The Committee is responsible for the overall running of the Club on behalf of the members. It meets regularly to consider major issues affecting the Club. Elections for committee members are held annually. All Committee members are volunteers and rely on help and support from the members to keep the Club’s activities going. Members with issues they want discussed in the Committee are encouraged to speak to any committee member with their concerns. Committee members have designated roles and designated responsibilities (see Contacts page for details) – they cannot run the Club without help and will ask for volunteers from time to time – please help if you can.
