Plan for 2020/21 season
James is planning on continuing in this role. However, this does not stop anyone else from putting themselves forward for the role. James is especially keen for a female from within the club (whether that is a Ladies player or a mother) to take on this role as would be great to have females making the decisions.

If more than 1 person is interested, and we are not able to split the role between them, then we will have a vote at the AGM and the person with the most votes will take on the role.

If interested in this role, please email the Chairperson stating the role that you are interested in carrying out
