Henley Sub Aqua Club: Committee

Henley Sub Aqua Club is governed by a constitution, which is available on request to any member, and run by a committee. The committee is elected by the members each year and is composed of:

The Chair is responsible for running the committee meetings, the AGM and also for liaison with external groups.
The Secretary maintains membership details and records of all Henley Sub Aqua Club activities, including dive records and meetings.
The Treasurer keeps Henley Sub Aqua Club afloat financially and tracks our income against expenditure. The Treasurer will make recommendations to the committee over fees and charges.
The Diving Officer is ultimately responsible for all diving undertaken by the club and ensures that all dives through the club are in accordance with appropriate BS-AC guidelines. The Diving Officer is also responsible for producing the dive plan.
The Training Officer generates and maintains the training schedule throughout the year, co-ordinating lectures and tests and ensuring that appropriate resources and dives are allocated to training.
Equipment Officer - Henley Sub Aqua Club has a great deal of equipment for use in the pool and for open water dives, as well as a boat. It is the responsibility of the Equipment Officer to ensure that we have the right equipment, that it is in correct working order and to track its whereabouts. The Equipment Officer also makes recommendations to the committee about the equipment.

The following roles are not elected, but are co-opted onto the committee as required:

Assistant Equipment Officer - The roles of looking after the diving equipment and the boat have usually been split between two people to reduce the workload.
Social Secretary - The social aspects of Henley Sub Aqua Club, club events and fundraisers come under the remit of the Social Secretary.
Publicity Officer - Maintaining both internal and external communications is the role of the Publicity Officer. This includes the production of the Upper Crustacean newsletter. The website also comes under the realm of the Publicity Officer.

Committee meetings are held approximately every six weeks. The Minutes are available (and normally posted on the club notice board) to any member and any member is welcome to attend committee meetings (but cannot vote). A list of the current committee members is given at the end of this guide.
