The President is elected for an indefinite term. All other committee members are elected or re-elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Each member of the committee has a specific role as set out below, but all committee members attend committee meetings and they collectively work together to run the Branch. There are also a number of things that need to be done that are picked up by various members of the committee outside the “official” roles below.
President provides advice and guidance to the committee in all areas.
Chair organises and chairs the committee meetings and the AGM, chases people up and makes sure things get done.
Vice-Chair assists the chair, stands in for them if they are unavailable and would take over the Chair’s position if the existing Chair stood down mid-year for any reason.
Secretary is the external contact point for official business and liaises with the National TOMCC club, deals with membership and does things like organising insurance for events.
Treasurer looks after the money. The Branch has an income and expenditure of several thousand pounds each year. The Treasurer keeps accounts and manages financial controls.
Scribe writes the Branch report that’s in Nacelle each month and produces minutes for the AGM and committee meetings.
Tools Registrar manages the Branch’s collection of specialist Triumph Tools and arranges for members to borrow them and return them.
Regalia Officer arranges for all the Branch tee-shirts, other clothing and patches to be produced and takes orders and organises deliveries.
Events Coordinator organises events that are run by the Branch and for the Branch to be represented at other local motorcycle related events.
Webmaster develops and administers the Branch’s website and Facebook page.
Runs are arranged via a Whatsapp Group that any Branch member can join. A member of the committee administers this Group, but any member can propose and lead a ride.
