You enter this page at your own risk!! The committee members are called Directors as it makes them think they are important, so that they do all sorts of unpaid work for the club. Their main job is to act as a target for complaints and grumbles - or so it seems at times!!
Office Bearers (until February 2010)
President V-President and Bar Convenor Junior VP & Match Secretary and Secretary
Treasurer and Social Convenor Master of Works Green Convenor New Directors
The President- Tom Welsh
Tom
is a former Club Champion who claims his general cheeriness is unrelated to his
vodka consumption. We will be interested to see how both change during the
season!
Vice President and Bar Convenor- David Linley
David
has done both jobs before so this is yet another example of Hope triumphing over
Experience
(like a second marriage). As a former Glasgow Polis he is of course
very familiar with bars, and will surely deal with any difficulties with all the
tact and diplomacy one would expect from such a background.
Junior Vice President - Richard Jackson
We
expect Richard to bring his own unique approach to this task
Match Secretary -David Winks
As the Match Secretary
he will use a complicated formula
to select teams, based on past performance,
present form, future prospects and
whether they happen to be around when he is picking the team. Regarded as very
fair by those selected and biased by those he leaves out. Such is life!
Honorary Secretary- Bill Gilfillan
An obvious choice for secretary, as he is good at joined up writing.
This picture shows the type of welcome you can get at the club, if you buy him a drink.
Honorary Treasurer- Alistair Gunn
As
a former physics teacher, he is quite happy if his calculations work out to plus
or
minus 10%. Caused some concern when he disappeared on holiday to Australia
just after taking up office. Like most treasurers he has deep pockets and short
arms, although he was seen buying a drink for the auditors just before his second
trip to Australia. He has even shaved his beard off to show he has nothing to
hide....hmm.
Social Convenor - Ray Taylor
Although a relatively new member of the club, Ray has shown himself willing to take on tasks. We are sure that his experience in the 'drinks trade' will be put to good use. And his wife is a dab hand at selling raffle tickets...
Master of Works - Jim Macphie
Jim's wife has just finished two years stint as Lady President, so we don't know if this is a subtle way of getting his own back. Anyway, his joinery skills have already been put to good use!
Green Convenor - Jim Gilchrist
Works with the Groundsman Tom Scott to maintain the green in a good condition. His background as a professional gardener should be helpful ( and wife Margaret makes exceedingly good cakes).
and last but not least the following motley crew are the new Directors for 2010-- isn't the club in fine hands?
Colin
Beattie and David Brown.
Colin promises to attend meetings if they don't clash with "Corrie"
Bob
Ewing, Bill Milroy, Eddie Humpries, Greig Harrison and Fred Hamilton were joined
by Bill Taylor this year.
