Management Committee

The Management Committee is responsible for running the club on a day to day basis. It consists of a Chairman, President, two Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, Secretary, a number of elected members and a representative for each of the main squads. Management Committee meetings are held in Bracknell on the third Monday of each month. Our Chief Coach also attends the meetings.

Every year in October we hold an Annual General Meeting where we review the current state of the club and elect members to stand on the Committee for the following year. This event is usually held at the Bracknell Sports and Leisure Centre and is open to all club members. If you are at all interested in influencing the future of the club, you are welcome to put your name forward to become an elected member.
