General Information
During my term as your President for 18 years I have been instrumental in reducing the Board from
14 to 8 Directors and changing the Club Rules to allow all Club Members(over 5 years) to stand for
any position on the Board (2013). Since 2005 I have, with differing Boards over the years, worked
towards developing the Club by continual consultation with the Waverly Council governing bodies
until the FSR was altered to the benefit of the Club in 2014. I was instrumental in obtaining Board
approval to appoint a Project Manager to oversight all development applications and development
of the Club. If re- elected I will continue to ensure the members get the best Club in the area when
the development takes place. For further information please go to the RSL website –
