Health and Safety Recruitment WRC would like to thank Kristy Udy for her time and service to the club as the H&S Officer, and wish her the best with all of the other volunteer coaching and coordinating roles she does for the rowing community. Kristy has resigned from the H&S Officer role, but until a new H&S officer is appointed, Kristy will remain in the position. She will also happily support the transition to a new volunteer. As such, the WRC Committee is recruiting a new Health and Safety Officer for the club. This is a rewarding position, and is a key volunteer role within the club. It does require a high level of responsibility. This role would be supported by the committee, senior members within the club, and a junior member who is keen to help with the role.  |
