On the last Wednesday of Epiphany we held our annual club AGM. After a rundown of the successful year we’ve had from the ex-captain, we heard husts from lots of members for different exec roles- it was great to see so many freshers getting involved!
We followed the elections with a buffet meal at the Curious Mr Fox and (of course) spoons to properly celebrate. Members of the club received awards for progression, beatering and everything in between, alongside a ceremonial rubber duck.
Thank you to our previous exec and captain Charlie for all their hard work over the year!
And congratulations and good luck to the new exec and captain for the year ahead!
The new exec is as follows: (meet the exec posts coming soon 👀)
Captain - Maddie
Vice Captain - Matthew
Treasurer - Yiya
Trip Officer - Devon
Training Officer - Ryan
Kit and Safety - Jake
Canoe Polo Sec - Oliver
Welfare - Anna
Social Sec - Teddy & Devon
Media Sec - Zak
