Club Committee

20014-2015 Manifestos

Matthew Crowe - Secretary

I'm a current MLBC and third year Mathematician and have been part of First and Third since being enticed to join by the free drinks in Fresher’s Week. Over the last 3 years I've rowed or coxed at all levels and have probably rowed with, coxed or coached every current member at some point.

I am very organised as demonstrated by my organisation of The Talbott Cup and STCS and my by LBCing and have a lot of experience of both the club and the committee.

• Chair General and Committee meeting efficiently.
• Take and maintain minutes for each meeting.
• Prepare a list of races for the year, enter crews into any races requested and if necessary, chase up any LBCs/Captains that have forgotten about them.
• Arrange the dinners each term. Over the summer I will consider alternative venues for Fairbairns dinner.
• Maintain the club accounts and work with the JT, KSS and Sponsorship Officer in matters regarding money.
• Find someone to become race secretary or if necessary do it myself. If able to find someone I will provide help where needed based on my experience from this year. I believe running races is a great way to both raise money (we made around £600 profit this year) and promote the club.
• Work with the webmaster to ensure that the website content is relevant and up to date and check we're not breaking any more laws (remember the (now fixed) Data Protection issues?).
• Support the captains and LBCs.
• Review and (subject to Committee/Club approval) update the constitution. Some of it is currently out of date and I feel there are things which need to be added/clarified.
