AGM - 29 June 2025

Thank you to all those members who turned out for the AGM. Congratulations to those that have accepted various positions on the Executive Committee and Non-Executive official roles.

Greg Clapp continues as Club President and Jill Olesen is Vice President.

One special motion of the day was the nomination for Life Membership. Colin Taylor who continues as our Club Captain proposed the motion and this was seconded by Murray Jones to award Life Membership to Ross Groves. The motion was unaminously supported. 

Will update you on all the various Club officials once the minutes are written up.
