John Dixon

Treasurer

The Commitee generally undertake all decision making on behalf of the Club, and are effectively responsible for its day-to-day operation. Its activities can broadly be broken down into several key areas:

Sponsorship & Fundraising

The Committee assume responsibility for fundraising throughout the season and close-season, maximising the potential revenue streams into the Club.

They are also responsible for attracting sponsorship from local companies to help fund and support general Club activities or expenses. They aim to manage the relationship between the Club and its sponsors to ensure that all sponsors are serviced to a high level and are retained on a long term basis.

Social Events

The Community also assume responsibility for arranging all of the Club's social functions. Each year they establish a broad social calendar for the season and end of season to provide a range of appropriate entertainment for all Club members in order to maintain club morale and to enhance the appeal of the Club to the wider community.

Community Engagement

One of the key roles of the Committee is to promote the Club's image and to establish and maintain strong links with the local community.

They liaise with local groups and organisations with a view to integrating the Club into the village, endearing it to its inhabitants and generating a ‘community feel’ around the Club. This entails assisting local groups and organisations with the set-up and running of community events such as the Honley Feast and Christmas Light Switch-On.
