Assistant Treasurers Position

At our last committee meeting it was decided that there were benefits for the club if we appointed a person to the position of Assistant Treasurer. In addition to relieving our Treasurer during periods of absence the Assistant Treasurer would have the responsibility of managing the bank account for the Lake Macquarie International Competition and for working with Roy Killen to ensure the successful running of this event. This is a good opportunity for a club member to become involved in running our club and assisting Roy with the financial aspects of the Lake Macquarie International. 

If you would like to find out about what is involved please contact Liz Woods  – elizabeth.j.woods@gmail.com or Roy Killen – roykillen@mac.com
