The General Committee

The General Committee are responsible for administering the clubs activities and ensuring compliance with our club rules. Candidates for roles on the main committee are elected at the AGM, however the places on the sub committees are available to any club member with an interest or relevant skill.

Flag Officers

President		Andrew Rimmer The role of president is to bring continuity to the decisions the club makes today, linking them back to past objectives - our compass if you like.
Commodore 2021		Rachel Chapel  Rachel started out sailing in her grandmother's Otter at Llangorse Lake as a teenager and only come back to sailing again a few years ago.  She's happiest sailing in the blue warm seas of the Med, but you can sometimes see her in her Laser at Banbury - although more often than not she's to be found in the galley!! She has been on the General Committee for five years - and previously been Treasurer for the club. Email: commodore@banburysailing.org.uk
Vice Commodore		Stuart Harris Stuart started sailing at the age of six and since then, has and will, sail just about anything that floats! Stuart sailed with the Youth Section from the age of 12 and is a huge advocate - and facilitator - of youth sailing at Banbury.  He has previously been Sailing Secretary and run the Youth Section for the Club.
Vice Commodore		Philip Eves Philip was introduced to the joys of sailing by his father and spent his first years sailing in 'big boats' down on the south coast. Only later did he try his luck in dinghies and has not looked back since! He has previously served on the committee for two years as both a members rep and ongoing as the offshore rep.
