Club Update.

Good evening, all.

Congratulations to Julia on her new role. Julia will work closely with Mark Nutter, the team managers, and the wider committee. We all look forward to working with her. Thanks to Kim Kennedy and Michelle Abbott, who also stood last night.

We’d also like to announce that Scott Cunliffe has taken up a new committee role as Team Coordinator. Scott’s remit includes working closely with Club Captains & Team Managers. We welcome Scott to this position and look forward to his contributions to the club.

Keep an eye on our socials to find out more about each committee member and their role over the coming weeks. The face behind that name, a deep dive into the work that goes on behind the scenes, and more.

We’d also like to place on record our thanks to David Siguenza, who has stepped down from the committee recently. We thank David for his valuable work, dedeication and commitment over his time on the committee and wish him all the best.
