Committee

The club’s run by 14 volunteer committee members. Anyone who’s a member of the club can both vote and put their hand up to be a committee member during the Annual General Meeting (AGM). You don’t have to put your hand up at the AGM, but we’d love it if you do!

First meeting of 2025’s committee

As a committee member, you could help keep the club running properly, as well as help steer it or expand it in new ways.

The AGM is held each year in March (usually in a room at the Burnside pool after training).

Some of what the committee does requires the formality of a vote among committee members. These are done at committee meetings, which are every 1 or 2 months. All members are welcome to come along to these as well.
