Meet the Committee
The Honorary Secretary, Phil Rees, creates and sends out agendas and minutes for General Committee meetings, and handles most of the club correspondence and licenses.
The Rear Commodores David Hogben and Steve Lee traditionally carry the responsibility for the clubhouse and the infrastructure and manage to make sure that all the issues get dealt with by someone. So knowledge of the building trade, or skills at decorating, are absolutely not necessary!
