Recruitment of new Council Members
We are at an important time in the development of the Club and new members for our Council of Trustees were appointed at our AGM on 20 September 2023.
Opportunities arise naturally as office-bearers retire at the end of the terms of office and we welcome new trustees who broaden and deepen the pool of skills and experience we can draw on.
We currently have a vacancy for our Web Manager to keep the site up-to-date and ensure its smooth running. Please download details.
