Who's Who?
President & Vice President (VP) – Graham Banfield & Ricky Harper (VP)
Honorary, ambassadorial roles bestowed upon someone associated with the club historically, who may previously have made a significant contribution to the club in some way, for example as a player, coach, committee member or club sponsor.
While not expected to be directly involved with the day-to-day running of the club, the President / VP are invited to attend any management committee meetings to support and contribute as they see fit, in a non-voting capacity. Also seen as a Senior Representative of the club, providing a public face, those in the roles should always aim to help promote the club in a positive fashion, encouraging support of the club’s ventures and championing the club’s ethos and objectives.
The club would usually aim to invite a President & VP to sit for a period of one year, with the intention of the Vice-President to take over for the following year. Should anyone in the role feel that they’d like to extend their period of active contribution to the club in some capacity, then they are always invited to join the management committee, thereafter.
