Phil Court will unfortunately be stepping down from his position of events co-ordinator at the next AGM. He has done a fantastic job behind the scenes ensuring the events we host and organise have all the necessary permits, licences and arrangements in place. So we are looking for someone to take on this essential role. The events we currently organise are the Westbury Wipeout, The Blaise Blazer and one Gwent league fixture per season. The job description is outlined below. Please contact Tamsin Chick (manager.women@westburyharriers.co.uk) if you are interested or want to know more. It is vital that we have someone to take on this role. Phil will do a full handover and will be there to support the next person as they learn the ropes.
The committee would like to take this opportunity to thank Phil for all his work for the club, it is much appreciated.
