A new club committee was elected at our AGM on Wednesday 21st July, and it was all change.
With Ian Morris and Dave Owen deciding to stand down from their duties on the committee we went headhunting for two standout club members who could fill these roles and take NWSS forward into the next era. We welcome Sandra Gould as our new treasurer and Steve Whiten as our new club secretary, both Horsham based.
Sandra has been a NWSS member and regular coach passenger since the club was founded back in 2011 and Steve, although a more recent acquisition, is also another valuable asset to the club. We welcome them both to the committee. It’s a new era with different people at the helm bringing some innovative, fresh ideas that will hopefully help us to improve, change and develop the club going forward.
With John Jory remaining on the committee looking after our coach seat bookings and passenger lists it means that Mike Wilson will now move into the role of chairman to oversee the new committee, helping to steer the ship in the right direction. His ten years of experience as a committee member and club secretary will be needed as we transition across to a new team of people looking after the club’s future.
We at NWSS owe a huge debt of thanks to both Ian and Dave for their work and contribution to the club over recent years. Ian in particular has been with NWSS since it’s conception and some ten years later I guess he deserves a break from all those numbers. There’s no question that the club wouldn’t be the success that it is today without Ian’s hard work and effort over the last decade. It was only fitting at our AGM that club founder Andy Stonestreet nominated Ian as a fellow Life Member, a well deserved accolade which was greeted with a huge round of applause. Well done and thank you for your ten years of service to the club Ian.
