Meet the Comittee

These are the people elected at our annual AGM who help to run Isis CC on a day-to-day basis. Everyone does it for the love of it, they are all voluntary positions - getting people out on the water is just something we all enjoy doing! Each member of the committee provides a report at the annual AGM about their activities throughout the year.

Chair

Simon Terry

Simon recently took over the mantle of Chair from Penny, one of the club's co-founders. Simon is the brains behind Isis CC. Should we be worried? Probably. He spends a lot of time organising meetings with the committee members and coaches to ensure that all the cogs of our well oiled machine are in working order, and cracks the whip if they aren't. Simon's relaxed and friendly demeanour sets the tone for Isis CC.

Vice Chair

Penelope Terry

Penny is the keeper of the Isis CC Clubmark file, making sure that all our Clubmark paper work is up- to-date and our procedures are correct. Penny also helps with developing our coaches, helping with funding and reminding them when they need to update various qualifications.

Treasurer

Liam Challis

Liam is in charge of the Isis CC purse strings. He keeps our accounts up-to-date with an impressive spreadsheet detailing all our income and expenditure. Liam also manages all the club's membership and course fees. He's the person we go to if we want to buy new resources for the club.

Secretary

Niamh Martin

Niamh is the first point of contact for the club if you have a general enquiry. She'll make sure your email is forwarded to the correct person faster than lightening. If you have a general query, and you don't know who to call, Niamh is probably your woman.

Membership Secretary

Liam Chalis

Poor Liam, not only does he manage Isis CC's accounts, but he also keeps track of our members too. Liam is the person to go to for a membership form or if you have a query about joining the club. He liaises with Simon about the courses to make sure that all our members are present and correct.

Social Secretary

Lynds Blackaby

Lynds looks after our social lives at the club, from Sunday roast paddles and seasonal extravaganzas to trips to the cinema, bowling and paintballing. Lynds has lots of ideas to make sure we have as much fun off the water as we do on it. If you have an idea for a social event then let Lynds know.

Course Director

Simon Terry

We try to introduce lots of people to paddlesport each year and this is thanks to Simon's meticulous planning of our courses, and making sure we have enough coaches and helpers on the water to keep you safe. Simon also coaches on the courses himself to make sure they run smoothly. If you want to join one of our courses, contact Simon first to check that it will be suitable for you, and that we have space left, because they are very popular.

Kit Admiral

Jen Roberts

If it's about kit then Jen is the person to contact. Whether it be maintaining our current boats and kit, repairing our fleet, or buying new shiny things to play with. Jen is also in charge of organising our two maintenance days, in spring and autumn. If you spot a problem with a piece of kit, or have a suggestion about something we could buy, then get in touch with Jen.

Webmaster

Gwylim Williams

You are currently reading this thanks to the handiwork of Gwyl. He deals with all things techie and regularly updates the website with our trip reports. If you spot anything that needs updating then Gwyl is the person to email.

Members' Representative

Paul Richards

Otherwise known as the 'The Voice', Paul is a regular paddler who speaks up for the average club member. He keeps his ear to the ground to make sure that even those who can't attend the AGM can still have a say in how the club is run. If you have any feedback about the club, Paul is your man.

Newsletter Editor

Jen Roberts

Jen goes from writing email newsletters at work, to coming home and doing the same for Isis CC in the evening. Every week during the summer season (and every two weeks during winter) Jen keeps members up-to-date with the most recent events and news, coordinating announcements on the forum and calendar so everything is consistent. If you have a trip or news item you want promoting to members then you need to contact Jen.

Coaches

Where would we be without our team of loyal and very hardworking volunteer coaches and helpers?

You can find out more about them on the Meet the Coaches and Helpers pages.
