Your GTC Committee
The work and development of the Club is overseen by the Committee which meets regularly and which also holds an Annual General Meeting to which all members are invited. There are also 9 Working Groups which meet regularly to review and help develop particular areas of the Club. The Committee is always pleased to hear from Club members who would like to join either the Committee itself or contribute to one or more of the Working Groups.
