The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors are responsible for the financial, health & safety, human resources and managerial aspects of the club. Members of the board are voted on at the Annual General Meeting. Appointment to the board is a rolling process to assure some continuity from one year to the next.

Directors of the club are unpaid volunteers. The board members take on specific oversight of various aspects of the club as well as the general responsibilities in running one of the most successful flying clubs in the UK.
