All change at the top

A little later than usual, this year's OGM took place at 7.00pm on Monday 7th August. Equally unusually but very much in the modern way of things, the meeting took place virtually. We're unsure if this was so the outgoing captain could avoiding having to ring the bell or just because the new chairman couldn't manage to herd all the cats into the same physical space at the same time?

Either way, it was an 'interesting' experiment (and probably one that won't be repeated) but we did manage to conduct the main business of the evening, which was to elect the captaincy for the 2023/24 season. So without further ado, your new captaincy is:

Captain • Martin Drage
Deputy Captain • Tom Clarke
Vice Captain • Mustafa Özyurt

Very many thanks to Rupert Bailey for his two years at the helm as well as the members of his teams over those two years: Martin and Pete; Henrik and Matt G. Rupert has posted a Valedictory Captain's Log here.

The sharp-eyed amongst you [yeah, right – Ed] will have spotted that Martin had only just taken over from Marj as Hon. Secretary at the AGM in February and obviously can't hold both positions simultaneously. Dominic Marshall has very kindly stepped into the breach to take over as club Secretary for the next six months.

Membership is quite small at present as we strive to continue our recovery from the pandemic and as a result there are several positions vacant on the committee. If you think you might have the skills to help run our little club, please do get in touch with the committee or the captaincy to discuss.
